- C'mon iM Ginsburg, don't try to blame the midwest. The
- original comments didn't really deserve a response from
- someone rated 2450 (or so) points above him!
-
- To all:
- Anyway, I have a suggestion - why don't we agree to require
- each post to have an obligatory chess section to each article?
- For example,
-
- obchess: Where does White get comp for the piece after
- 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bc4 Nxe4 4.Bxf7 Kxf7 5.Qf3+ Kg8
- 6.Ng5?? Qxg5! ??? Why is this book?
-
- or obchessreply: After 7.Qxd5+ Be6 8.Qxe6 is mate! You patz!
-
- or obchess: I have problems with my Fidelity Travelmaster.
- The batteries don't last long enough!
-
- or whatever, as long as it has something to do with chess.
- It doesn't have to be deep, but it does have to relate to
- chess.
-
- I know this idea probably won't take off, as it seems there are
- too many non-players on r.g.c. who regularly post. Nevertheless,
- perhaps we can work out something else. I'm sure that most
- r.g.c. readers agree with me that there needs to be more CHESS
- on rec.games.CHESS.

- p.s. Let me know how you feel about this, and tell me whatever
- ideas you have to try to get a handle on this problem.
