I am surprised to see so many people who love this game! I have been
playing with competent players since 1995. I was present in the glory days
of the working internet version (also during the buggy beta versions?!). I
played the patentees' (Rick and Henry) several times and Bill Cosby once,
for a couple of moves.
My friends and I still play approx. 2 x per month. I am, and have been the
greatest player I know of and will accept any 'correspondence challenge'
to prove it. I will have a website which happily shares my accumulated
knowledge up by June 09. My address is doubleschesschampion@cox.net
The website will contain: opening theory; annotated games, including the
'Game of the century'; and examples of the attacks and defenses that have
shaped our style.
I hope you guys still play and the game takes off soon. That coffee table
rocks! I am currently making inlaid wood sets and I may sell some on EBAY
down the road. I also possess the elusive computerized version that is
invaluable for running variations. Also, I know a distributor of the board
game. Contact me.
