      Hi Joe,
   I'm Mark Patrick.  Do you remember, we had a couple games going
   here in fido a while back.
   I tried many times to communicate with you here, and in NetMail.
   Perhaps you became ill and for that reason you were unable to
   continue.  If that is the case, I hope you are doing better now.
   Our games hadn't progressed very far, but if you're interested,
   I still have them and we can attempt to finish them now.
      Game #33                      Game #49

assistant: Mark,
I was just writing because Bruce informed me that you had placed Maurice
Neveau on your "Hall of Shame" list. I got a message a couple of months ago
from one of Maurice's friends explaining that he was having *surgery* and he
would be out for a while. He is an older gentleman and already disabled, so
you might want to rethink your decision.
I have promptly replied to all of your moves, and "resent" more than once.
Perhaps you shoudl think carefully about the limitations of FIDO and the
larger problems some of your opponents might be facing before classifying
these people.
I'm planning to do *yet another* big resend of all my games in the next few
days. FIDO sucks.

your name.  I have seen a lot of mail in usenets from Germany.  Must be from
the areas that have large populations and wealthier?     There are a  few
cities near me that do not have any internet either, so I know what  you
an.
         I've forgotten if you said you were a rated chess player.  I know
 it would be an ELO rating as opposed to a USCF rating, but it's an easy
 conversion.

assistant: 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.
