As of this date (04 Sep 96), I am declaring Mike Pell's games as forfeits. He has not been heard from in nearly 2 months, and according to my bounced netmail, his local BBS is no longer nodelisted. I noticed you also inquired about some other people -- herewith is the latest I know of: BYRON MASSEY -- He hasn't logged on to the BBS here for about 2 weeks. I spoke with him on the phone, and he said he's been pre-occupied with the Internet, but will respond in a couple of days. MUNDI KING -- Nothing in 6-7 months. JOE BITTO -- A message to Mark Patrick from Rob Roy dated 13 Aug stated that Mr. Bitto's condition had advanced to the point where it was too difficult to continue the games. I assumed that this applied to the rest of his Fido and e-mail games and have not pursued further even though I did not receive a similar message. BTW, do you still have an e-mail address, and if so, what is it? Later, Bruce Moon ... So, other than THAT -- how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln? --- PPoint 1.88 * Origin: Cavern of Ineptitude (Coos Bay,OR,USA) (1:356/4.27) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 123 CHESS Ref: DDM00024 Date: 09/16/96 From: BRUCE MOON Time: 02:28am \/To: ALL (Read 1 times) Subj: MOON-MAN TOURNEY Report It has been almost 3 months since I assumed the reins of the ill-run "GARBAGE MAN TOURNEY" and revamped it into the "MOON-MAN TOURNEY". The revamp consolidated the participants into the following group of players: Ananda Jaisingh Byron Massey Bruce Moon Mark Patrick Mike Pell The format was set as a single round-robin, and utilized games already in progress from prior to the revamp. Since the revamp, the following have occurred: *** Massey vs. Moon -- Moon won. *** Patrick vs. Moon -- Moon won. *** Pell forfeited in all 4 of his games. Failed to make time control. This leaves the following games still in progress as of this date: Jaisingh vs. Massey Jaisingh vs. Patrick Moon vs. Jaisingh Patrick vs. Massey Current standings: Player W-L-D Games left Score -------------------------------------- Jaisingh 1-0-0 (3) 1.00 Massey 1-1-0 (2) 1.00 Moon 3-0-0 (1) 3.00 Patrick 1-1-0 (2) 1.00 Pell 0-4-0 --- 0.00 Later, Bruce Moon --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 123 CHESS Ref: DDM00025 Date: 09/16/96 From: BRUCE MOON Time: 02:16am \/To: OLIVIER COLLARD (Read 1 times) Subj: OC vs. BM GAME 1 -- Collard-Moon: 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 ...
