The aim (to obtain chess) is ok, but the means are not. What's obviously
needed is a better archive distribution scheme than Usenet News. As this
is too short a statement for inews to accept, I suggest implementing a
kind of distributed database system for the archives, using UUCP as the
transport medium, which handles distribution of archive announcements to
all hosts as well as the archives themselves on demand, with some kind of
archive cache at backbones and other possible key hosts.
