Matthew,

The point I was making about Zillions of Games was a premise in an
argument whose conclusion is that, for most of the games played on Game
Courier, the software simply does not exist to implement the 'Game Plies
Rating' system you have suggested. This has nothing to do with
willingness to upgrade to a version of ZOG with a plies setting. There is
no such version for anyone to upgrade to. My argument can be broken down
like this:

1. ZOG does not have a plies setting.
2. Most games on Game Courier cannot be played by any software but ZOG.
Therefore, most games on Game Courier cannot be played by any software
with a plies setting.

Also, my question about your name referred to a book, David Pritchard's
Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, not to your id on this website. In that
book, David Pritchard describes a game called Renaissance (aka Baroque
Renaissance Chess), an Ultima variant created by a Matthew Monchalin in
1975. The name is close to your own but spelled differently. Is that you?
