assistant: My thanks to Lawrence Garvin for sending you Bruce Moon's description of
algebraic notation.  In my msg I intended to show my King's Pawn moving
2 spaces - from e2 to e4.  As we go forward with our games feel free to
ask for clarification of any/all moves if you're not sure of my
intentions.  I'll do the same with you.
FIDONET won't let us move that fast; it generally takes two days to
transmit our msgs to each other even if we answer the day we receive
them, and from time to time the system loses msgs.   But just because
the games take awhile shouldn't detract from their enjoyment.
