I'm new to this message area, but not to chess.  What are some of the common
activities in this area?  I've seen some discusions and games, is anything
else permitted here?  How could a person arrange a game in this echo or the
chess_tournament echo?  Is there some sort of listing for people willing to
play matches?  What are the rules for this area?  (I haven't seen a weekly
moderator's rule list yet)
Is anyone in this echo from Canada?  If so, what province and general area?
I'd appreciate any replies,
Adrien.

user: You are replying to All about "Chess is important to me".

Write your reply.

assistant: My name is Joe and I play chess.  I am forty years old and
live in Waterbury Connecticut.  Life is, as most of you already
know, not very kind.  I am very ill.  My condition is called
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.  You might know it as Lou Gehrig's
disease.  It attacks the muscles and leaves the person unable to
use their body.  Most of my muscles have already fallen to this
sickness, so excitement and activity is limited.
A short time ago, I was president of a chess club.
Chess and I go way back.  It has always been my friend.
I play it for relaxation, competition, and for release.
I can't say enough about this game.  It's a game of the mind,
and since the mind is unaffected by the disease, I can play
it fully to enjoy every challenging moment.
I am also fortunate to have a motorized wheelchair, the use
of a computer, and some very good friends.  You might have seen
me riding my chair to go shopping or to a tournament.
My name appears on several popular BBSes.   Friends visit me
at the Cedar Lane rehabilitation facility, where I am a resident,
to play chess.  Where there is a will, there is a way.
You see, chess isn't simply a game to me, it's a release from
my prison.  My body is a prison but chess lets me out for awhile.
I am an average player but I enjoy playing with those much
better than myself.  How else do you hope to better yourself ?

   Actually, you had signed up for the "GARBAGE MAN TOURNEY", and started out
   with 4 opponents (more on that in a moment!).  The opponent to whom you
   refer is Maurice Neveu who had surgery back in late February and was
   supposed to be released from the hospital on or about 06 Mar.  The surgery
   was evidently a success (?) but Mr. Neveu has not posted anything since.
At
   this point, I would not count on him resuming play.
   Of your remaining opponents, two are still actively posting -- Mike Pell
and
   Ken Stevens.  You were paired as Black against Mr. Pell and as White
against
   Mr. Stevens.  But before you start these games, look for my message to
"All"
   with the subject heading "G-MAN TOURNEY update" or the netmail version I'm

I'd be interested in a match with you.  This would be my first Fido game, so
I don't know all of the rules for Fido yet...  Would you like to play one
game as each color?
I gather from other messages that you've posted that you speak French.
English is my first language, but I am learning French at school (I'm in
rade
11), so I know what learning a second language can be like.  What language
would you like to carry conversation on in?  An interesting idea would be for
me to write in French and you in English which would be good practice.  (I've
done this with French pen pals, it's quite interesting!)  Perhaps that way we
could both correct each other and learn a bit.  I'll try a phrase saying that
I would like to play a game with you, let me know how it is:
        J'aimerais beaucoup jouer une parti d'echecs avec tu!
My dad speaks French as a first language, so if needed, he can help me...

No, not yet. I'm German, and Internet and e-mail and these things aren't so
popular (and cheap) here. But were working on a local server.

assistant: Mc Graw Diner?  Not sure I know where it is.   I'm not much on 10 minute
chess either.  Went to Auburn one Sat with Rich Parker and played there,
seemed like forever!
It's fine occasionly, but ....
Yes, I agree about everyone wants the glory w/o the hard work.  I know that a
number of people have told me that the best way to gain points was to  set
traps in the openings.  I though that was a cheap and unstable way to  get a
high rating.   I'd rather take my lumps and get my points that I could ]
KEEP!!

assistant: hi charles the 10 minute games let us play many games at a casual level
instead of i game pure drudgery  as friends we try to keep it friendly
must work we have been at it two years now i also played in auburn club
heavy one winter i liked it got to play e tyma he is gone now what a player
if you want some points to keep play tournaments there is a lot of them in
ithaca runned by Karl heck or as i prefer postal chess points wont mean much
till you hit 2000 they come and go  regards rich
