assistant: Checkers is surprisingly computationally expensive.  There are times
when the results of a move may not show up for 40 or 50 moves.  That's
hard for a computer to deal with.  Although chess is more complicated
game, in many ways, it's easier to program.  With chess, many things are
still 'fuzzy', and any inaccuracies probably wont cause the program to
lose the game.  But with checkers, things to tend to boil down to a
won/lost position, so an error will almost always cause it to lose.

I'll play if you like, but since you've moved first, you're White. Your
move f6 is a move of a pawn to f6 (P-KB6, in descriptive) and is illegal.
Try another move and I'll be glad to respond. Did you perhaps mean 1. f3?
By the way, it's customary to prefix moves with the number of the move, as

assistant: Greetings and salutations all,
     Simply, I'm an amateur level chess player looking for a competitor
here. I'm only interested in playing one game at a time (opposed to
multi-opponents or each player playing two games with both colours), so
I would leave it up to my opponent to choose the colour he/she wants to play.
     If anyone's interested, then please drop me a line. If you wish to be
white, go ahead with your first move.
     I recommend we use algebraic notation, but I'm flexible. The echo
FAQ suggests the three time repetition rule is popular again, but I
dislike it and won't abide by it. Further, I suggest we place a time
limit of 2 weeks between moves. And lastly, if you have an Elo rating
it would be interesting to know before we start.
     So, anyone interested in a game of chess?

Are you talking about the rule that states that a triple repetition of the
position is a draw?
If so, it's not "popular again" and it's not optional. It's simply a rule
of the game. Your saying that you won't abide by it is like saying that you
won't consider that you've lost even if you've been checkmated.
You find find someone who's willing to play with your own personal set of
rules, but most people, including me, would not accept anything but the
standard rules.

     Altough there are too many systems for recording moves, we shouldn't
have any trouble understanding each other. Ex: I would abbreviate KP-KP3
as P-K3, since that move can't actually be confused with another. But,
better more description than less when it truly counts.

Hallo, Sasha. Please, please accept my sincerest apologies for being so
extremely tardy in responding to you. In mid-December I moved some computers
around on my home network, and it was my intention to resume following this
game on my OS/2 partition of my new Pentium PC; however, as it has turned
out, even now in mid-February, I have not yet found the time to get that
Pentium OS/2 partition linked to the BBS partition.
So... I have just replayed the moves below on a physical chess set, in hopes
of finally posting my next move -- but I hit a roadblock -- one that I wish I
had seen two months ago, lest we not need to drag this lack of activity out
any further. Yet I fear, reading the gamescore below, that your move
   6. ... Ne6
is meeting with some challenge, as your previous move 5. ... e6 seems to have
placed a pawn on that square.
If you would be so generous as to replay your move #6, I do promise this time
to reply promptly, and continue to keep up with this game as it progresses.
