A couple of years ago, there was (maybe still is) a play-by-electronic-mail
chess tourney going on on UUCPNet. The problems with running a play-by-email
Go tourney are obvious, mostly related to the number of moves in a typical
game.

While preparing a write-up on how to play go, specifically for people
playing go by email, it occured to me that a tourney on a small board would
be workable. Either 9x9 or 13x13 would generate games that were a couple
of months long, as opposed to the better part of a year.

So, is anyone out there interested in playing in such a tourney? Anyone
interested in running one, so I don't have to?

Please reply by e-mail, and I'll either post a note saying that nothing is
happening, or start working on starting the thing.

	Thanx,
