Hi James,
I'm looking for the same things! How about two games?
        GAME 1, ARvsJM - 1.c4  ??
        GAME 2, JMvsAR - 1.??
I'm turning 17 this weekend :)
You're from AB?  Me too!  I was looking for other Albertans here, I've seen a
few now, but you're the first that I've wrote to.  What part of AB are you
from?  I live in Whitecourt, 2 hours NW of Edmonton.  Do you play over the
board chess?  I love otb chess and get out to as many tournaments as I can!
Do you plan on going to the Canadian Open this summer?  I do!
TTYL,
Adrien.

assistant: Hi Bruce!
Due to size of our small town, NetMail is not offered to the masses on the
BBS.  I'm friends with the sysop here though, and he told me that if I was
having trouble with mail not seeming to go anywhere that he would let me use
NetMail to help get things going again.
  GAME 1 -- Moon-Regimbald: 1 d4 Nf6  2 c4 e6  3 ??
  GAME 2 -- Regimbald-Moon: 1 c4 d5  2 cxd5 ??

                            What's with this line?  I haven't ever seen it in
                            any books, and I play the English.  I've also
                            never seen it in actual play, suddenly I have 2
                            Fido games with the same line!?
60 games, you must have more spare time than I do, and I'm a student!
It's not the actual games that would be a problem for me (although if I had
much past 20 or so, I'd be hard pressed to get moves out in a reasonable
amount of time), it's more of keeping track of all the games - how long it's
been since you've gotten a response from certain players, sending out
esends,
etc...  the actual games themselves could be easily handled by a post-a-log
such as the one I have for postal chess.
I'd like to know a bit about you, as for me:  I'm 17, in grade 11 with a 94%
average, plan to go to university in engineering physics, live in Alberta
Canada, enjoy reading and various sports.
Do you play over the board chess?  I get out to as many tournaments as I can,
but it's hard as I live in a small town.  I will be going to a large tourney
this summer -> the Canadian Open!  It will be a great time, the first time I
will get to see (and perhaps play in an exhibit) some GM's, IM's, FM's, etc.
Regards,
Adrien.

I'm up for a game, but I dunno if you'd say that I'm gentle though :)
How about I start as white:

Things will go smoother I think if you post in both echos to avoid as many
problems as possible...

assistant: Hi Lyndon,
Are you looking to play a few games?  I'm trying to avoid starting too many
games, but if no one else will take you up on a game, I wouldn't mind
tarting
*one* more game :)
Canadian, eh!  I'm from Alberta, near Edmonton.  Are you going to the
anadian
Open this summer?  I am!
Regards,
Adrien.
