Hi Greg, pleased to meet you and welcome back! What would be the game you
bring?
George: I like your idea of '...separate tournaments, whenever they start,
to some space where non-participants can follow them,...'. Of course, this
is something that only Fergus and maybe David Howe can make. But first we
need to get an agreement on the kind of tournament we will play. By the
way, I would be very happy if you would participate in it!
Talking about democracy and justice, I think the method that Joe and I are
proposing is quite democratic because we are giving to the people
practically ABSOLUTE liberty to make theirs choice; it's understandable
that each one will choose his/her favorite game. The fair here consists in
the principle 'give for receiving': to I receive/get the pleasure of
playing my favorite game I have to give to my adversary the pleasure of
playing his favorite game.
Naturally, it is perfectly possible to run several tourneys of diverse
kinds at the same time: by theme and even by any particular variant. For
instance, I have in mind to run in a next future a mini tourney playing
Seirawan Chess. Of course, only the fonds of this great variant will
participate in it.
What about to carry out at the same time both ideas: the original of Joe/I
and that of Fergus/Mats?
Let's pospone a while the issue about to vote if Chieftain is accepted or
not.
