        DO NOT SEND REPLIES TO THE ENTIRE LIST! Just send them to one of
        the above addresses.

                               --------
For readers who don't understand all of this, I am conducting a Delphi
experiment wherein a large network-based readership can send moves in
for a chess game.  Each reader's move is a vote that is combined with
other readers' votes.  The move with the most votes is played against
the Prestige chess machine searching a minimum of 8 full ply deep.  At
this level it is probably playing around the ELO 2200 level.  The results
will eventually be published in a journal along with an analysis of the
experiment.

[In view of the limited number of respondents, I shall have to discontinue
publishing the play-by-play in this digest.  Please contact mclure@sri-unix
if you wish to follow the game.  -- KIL]
