I hope you have fun too! But I should warn you we have already collectively analyzed your flawed opening setup to a forced loss for you...

This is a good place for trash talk. Maybe it's a good idea to stay away from the Mob forum altogther. The original topic should remain clean but be sure to stay away from the Move topics.
It's an honor being Head Boy over there, but what a bunch of nutters! I feel like a glorified hall monitor. Oy, I've become my brother Percy!

So, chessandgo, how are you going to treat this game? Are you going to treat it like any other postal game, or are you going to devote special attention to it? Are you going to keep notes of your plan, or are you going to start fresh every week?
You don't have to answer. You probably don't want to release any secrets, not that the Mob needs them to win.

chessandgo,
Some of us think you would enjoy reading some of the posts in the Mob forum. After all, fun is the object of this game, besides trying to beat you.
Go ahead and read Mob forum topics other than Move X. And NIC1138 apologizes for what he wrote about you and a camel on your honeymoon.

I don't get you guys, who wouldn't find it romantic to bring your beloved one into a camel travel through the beautiful Morocco, or the beautiful Algerian desert, watching the red sand in the dawn at the Grand Erg Occidental!??...

Say, Jean, I'm wondering if I can call upon you for a few words comparing Arimaa to chess.
It turns out that the Dallas chess club (quite active) meets only a few miles from my new home. I think it would be fun to print up brochures to take there some weekend, and maybe draw some new players into the Arimaa site. Actually I have a brochure already typed up that I intended to take to the Minnesota University chess club, but I never got around to it, and now I want to update it with quotes from the World Champion, if you don't mind.
So, what do you think of chess? Is it a good game? A great game? What can you say to chess-lovers to interest them in Arimaa?

Jean, about the onoing Mob Match, we're having quite a hard time debating over our predictions of what you are going to do next... Can you at least tell us if you are perhaps considering a castling somewhere in move 23 or 25??... What about doing a Schlembs Maneuver at move 33??
It's just that that we are not sure. As for the insidious cat-and-dog inverted-hopscotch tactic you are planning for move 15... HA! We've already seen through your cunning plan!!

Neat! Can us have it?? =)
I'm planning to enter a university next semester that has a go club... (that's 60% why I really want to go there!)

As far as I recall, nobody (besides yourself, Ron ) ever called me names involving a camel ... what's this story with Nic and a camel

Great idea !
Had I the tenth of your persuading skills, I'd gladly help you with this, but I think you'll do it far better than I would [As for this world champ stuff, you are so, ain't you ]
yeah, chess is good, but arimaa is a lot better If you really want to quote me, please tell me what kind of thing you're looking for, I subscribe by advance to anything you will say

You don't have to answer. You probably don't want to release any secrets, not that the Mob needs them to win. |

Usually I think until I find a satisfying move, and postpone moving if I can't find one ... I guess I'll do the same for this game, but I'll have to check even more carefully and spend really much time, as you guys are going to consider much more moves than I can
Hopefully, with one week per move, the game won't become complicated before a fair part of the postal tourney games are over ...
How about the Mob team ? How are the debates going ? You guys are not letting Karl rule them ? How many players have joined the team so far ?
