Hi, I think having people's standings posted anonymously would be confusing, and I really don't see the point. Since the group is about helping one another play better, ridicule won't be tolerated. Over time, people's ratings will probably improve, and it will be fun to see that progress; that would be harder with nicknames. Also, as people play each other, we'll get to know each other, and that's easier with real names. Chris, algebraic notation is the method we use to report moves, i.e., e4, Bxd5, etc. HTH, Anna =========The blind-chess mailing list View list information and change your settings: //www.freelists.org/list/blind-chess List archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/blind-chess =======
