assistant: Tim Krabbe' gives simul on the Dutch Internet Chess Server
Next Tuesday, 11 june 1996, Tim Krabbe' will give a simul on the Dutch chess
server. The simul will start at 20.00 o'clock CET.
Tim Krabbe'
   Tim Krabbe' is a much read, much
   praised inventive author. He has
   written various excellent novels
   some of which were adapted for
   the screen. Chess has always been
   very special to him and he has tried
   to highlight the artistic side of the
   royal game by showing its curious
   aspects. Krabbe' once had the
   honour to be openly insulted by the
   late Jan Hein Donner, a feat only
   bestowed on the strongest players.
   In the last few years Krabbe' has
   scored about 50% in the AEGON
   human versus computer chess
   tournament.
You can connect to the Dutch chess sever (dics) by using telnet (address:
dics.dds.nl 5000) The IP address of the server is 194.109.20.8 5000
You'll find a link to dics on my homepage:
http:/www.xs4all.nl/~whizky/chess.html
I'm currently compiling some interesting facts and links on Tim Krabbe'. On
http://www.xs4all.nl/~whizky/krabbe.html You'll find an interview by Tim
Krabbe with Kasparov and one with Daniel Sleator (Darooha) besides some
other interesting stuff.
Have fun,
Kees Aleman

Nice to see you around again. Are you still interested in completing our

I have since lost the game score so if you have it and wish to continue,
please send it along up to and including your last sent move that you can
recall and we will take it from there. I think Mr. Moon is considering
taking over the tournament as the TD.

I met a man once that played in the 1930's on the Montreal Maroons. His name
is Stew Evans. If you look up in the hockey encyclopedia, you will find out
of the teams winning the Stanley Cup and find Stew among the gents to get
that honor. I should probably make my move now. I'll finish the story later.

Hi Bruce,
Even if it is in fact on topic?  What if translations are included?  I'm not
sure that I can send NetMail though, I'd have to try to find a good echo:
rules fairly open, but not *too* much idle chat for efficiency reasons.
Of course!!
Are the question marks a standard?
        GAME 1, BMvsAR: 1.d4  Nf6
        GAME 2, ARvsBM: 1.c4
Are there any strict felection time rules here?  I play by correspondance and
the time controls are 10moves/30days, but this seems a bit much for me as I
rarely take that much time (with the exception of holidays and exam times(I'm
in grade 11, 94% average, aiming towards going into engineering physics)).
With the two games we have going, expect me to get most of my moves out in 2
or less days, OK?  Without all of the registration and time constrictions of
postal chess, I better start making sure I don't overload here!!  It would be
too easy to start games with too many people.
Thanks for starting the games with me!!
TTYL,
Adrien.

Hello,
I'm fairly new here, but from what I've seen I believe you can use either the
chess or the chess_tourney echoes.  (I've been recieving the echoe for a few
weeks and I still haven't seen a weekly rules posting...)  I'd be interested
in a game.  Do you want white or black?  If you choose black, I'll play
1.c4 as white.
Regards,
Adrien.

Write your reply.

assistant: Dear Joe,
          You have 5 new chess opponents in the BBS-Chess door.
Two are from the InterNet, and three are from the FidoNet Chess Echo.  All
you need to do is make your moves in the door.  I will monitor my InterNet
E-mail and the chess echo for their replies, and I will call the BBS as them
and make their moves.  I will also pick up your moves from the door, and send
them out either on the echo or by E-Mail.
          Your Opponents are:
FidoNet:   Bruce Moon, Mark Patrick, and Ananda Jaisingh.
InterNet:  Lonnie Cook, and Dave Speer.
I will also relay and message you may want to include to them, and any
messages we get from them.
                                              Your Friend
                                                  Rob.
