I defenitly agree with Carol on the handicapping thing as well as the
confermation letters.
Warm regards,

Hello Richard,
Sorry, this is a corrected message. I lost the last one with "butter
fingers"!
1. The enthusiasm of 2on2 did not die. I've been informed that a game is
in progress at this time. They adopted the name "Buddy Chess".
2. It sounds interesting. However, as a weaker player, I rather be burned
learning to get stronger in the game without a handicap.
3. I concur with Connie's that "both winner and loser should get
confirmation letters".
Carol

Good Evening Chessers,
Just a few rambling questions in no particular order. Answer or ignore any
of them.
1. What is happening with Carol's idea of mentor or 2on2 chess? The initial
enthusiasm seemed to disappear after the first two weeks.
2. Is there any interest in trying to establish a handicapping system and
then holding a tournament with odds? Something roughly along the lines of
giving the weaker player odds equivalent to a pawn for every 100(?)points of
rating difference.
3. I am thinking about changing the game report confirmation message. I
want to make it an automatic "form letter" like the Ladder challenge
confirmation. What additional information would you like it to show?
Richard
