I have 2 questions for Fergus:

1) At the moment the "number" of games for the variant "Sac Chess" [i.e. games counted as finished!?] shows as 3, when I believe there have only been 2 finished at this point (and 2 more are currently being played, one of which was by a personal invitation). Is there something I'm missing?


2) Not quite sure this is the right thread to ask under, but in the event that a game is found wanting for any reason, can it be deleted from Game Courier (& by who)? 

A trivial example of why this might be desirable is an old chess variant (using standard chess' setup & piece movement rules) that I once read about in a book. The variant was called something like "Check!", the object of which was to deliver the first (and only) check of the game, winning immediately. It turns out that White wins by force in something like 5 moves if he plays 1.Nc3. Such a variant, if it existed on Game Courier, would be a prime candidate to be deleted, I would think.
