assistant: Hello Dider
                     for your reply
      No problem, we will probably both make typing errors, my
      world is not going to change if we make mistakes...
        We will use e8-g8 or e1-g1 for king-side, the above is for
        short notation. You preferred long notation.
     This get's to be long winded you might want to wait until
     the FAQ's are posted next week and capture/save/print them
     to printer/diskette/hard drive.
       Used to indicate a questionable (?) poor (??) move
       Also strong ! or very strong !! move.
      Long notation it will be..
later,
Jerry

  Hi.
   I understand people get games quite quickly, but if you're still
   after a game then I'll happily play you.
   I'm not sure what my rating would be these days. I'd estimate around
   1600-1800 Elo or 1700-1900 USCF.
 [game 1, white: Koskinen, black: Alger]
 1. e2-e4  e7-e6
 2. ???
 [game 2, white: Alger, black: Koskinen]
 1. e2-e4  ???
        See ya later,
