This is in response to Jeff's comment.  Thanks for commenting. I too like
the physical board inwhich pieces actually fall throught the hole in the
board.

As for the pawns behind the holes, yes they have a sad lot in life.  But
they still protect 2-squares and shield the guys behind them, at least
till they get dragged into a hole.

Jeff asked, 'Have you considered using Berolina Pawns?'  No.  I did not
know what Berolina Pawns were until after I submitted the game.  And even
when I read about Berolina pawns it did not occur to me that they might be
nice in Hole Chess.  I suppose you could challege someone to a game and
state that you want to use Berolina pawns.  The Game Courier won't mind. 
I would not mind watching such a game.
