Doug,

 RM> I would recommend CHESS_TOURNEY limited to just players posting

 RM> CHESS could contain all the Chess FDN file announcements and

 RM> various chess programs and books, tips on strategy, how to organize

LG> FWIW, Doug, I'm open to suggestions if this type of concept would 
LG> benefit both echos, although it may be met with resistance from the 
LG> participants.

DA> I have no problem with it -- if your folks can be persuaded to move th
DA> games here, I'll contribute some literary stuff to the other echo & co
DA> file announcements.

DA> What do others think of this?  (I'm cross-posting this to CHESS also).

While I like the idea organizationally speaking, the problem is that not 
all BBS's carry both echoes, including mine.  While I'm not prone to carry 
on playing games via this echo, the vast majority of the traffic here seems 
to be games in progress, not reports or reviews.  Unless this literary 
stuff is going to magically appear, chances are all that would happen is 
this echo would get very, very quiet - almost quiet enough for Elmer Fudd 
to hunt rabbit, while the other echo would flourish.
