Hi Carol and all,
Good idea regarding allowing more time to work on a puzzle. I would also like
to encourage providing a short discussion of what principle is demonstrated by
the puzzle along with the solution, if there is some specific principle.
Starting Monday I will be sending some end game puzzles from a book by Larry
Evans. The thirty some puzzles are in the form of a test starting with simple
problems worth two points each and progressively getting more difficult.
I was thinking of one problem each weekday. I can send five on Monday and the
answers the following Monday. Or one a day Monday through Friday with answers
on the following Monday. Or ...?
Any comments or suggestions?
Richard

Hi Rod,
I've enjoyed reading the chess articles you are sending. It is a good way to
keep the group list focus on chess. I also enjoyed getting the chess puzzles
too. The only suggestion I have is to give more time to work out the chess
puzzles. Don't give out the answer too soon. Maybe one could give three days
to work out the solution and then publish the answer.
Secondly, if we are playing friendly game, do we send it to the Blind-Chess
TD to begin a new rating?
Carol
