Hi, I don't think that we should get help from chess books or other materials with playing the current game. I think we should try to play our current game with the knowledge we have at the time. I feel that after the game, it would be OK to go back over that game and do a post mortem. The reason I say this is that you don't have that luxury in an over the board game, and since the only types of games we're playing are correspondence games, I feel that we should treat them like over the board games and just bring what we have at the time. Thanks.

You make an interesting point with your modification. I, though, disagree. Because of the nature of correspondence chess, any of us can learn new moves/tactics from our general chess study that we didn't know at the beginning of our games. Citing a source which we consulted could be an optional addition to a postmortem review of the game or as a reference in dispute ajudication. However, for general play, it seems cumberome during the game. David Rosenkoetter ____________________________________________________________ $13/Month Car Insurance?
