Hi all,
I have played a couple of hand-adjucated games on a forum I frequent, and
then played one game FTF with some friends on the Gibsons board I bought
at
Amazon.
Now, basically, I'm looking for a bigger challenge, cause I have a
tendency
to win or at least draw most of the games I play.
So this Play by email looks good, but I do have a couple of questions.
I'll
number them...
1) Does a newbie game mean new to the entire game? Or new to PBEM? Cause i
don't really fancy joining the first one, but i would like an opportunity
to
test my skills at ordering the judge around. Maybe I could fill an
abandoned
place somewhere? Or do you think the fact that I beat my friends doesn't
mean anything, and I'll most likely get slaughtered online :-)
2) I think I get most of the abbreviations now, but at the bounced game
list, after the press code "WGP-" it says "OWGP" or "OW-B". What does that
mean?
3) When you look at this "openings list"
(http://www.diplom.org/DipPouch/openings/openings.html)
why do all the
links
represented by little maps crash?
4) Are there other lists of game openings? I'd guess there would be more
spaces for people willing to take an abandoned power, but I can hardly
find
any of these.
5) Does it make any sense to join a game that has been waiting for players
for 4 weeks or longer?
Well, thanks for any effort you guys make to answer my questions. I do
hope
this is the right place to ask them, despite the nature of the other
threads
in this newsgroup being somewhat expert.
