I'm setting up a bait in which I'm going to be engaging a large number of lads in e-mail chess (thanks to Pastor Frank for the inspiration). I'm going to be playing then against a chess engine to minimise the effort on my part, but even so it looks like I'm going to have more than I have time to deal with. If anyone would like to take care of one or two of the keen lads, let me know and I'll PM you with the details.

Cheers!

MrMe: A bit more explanation:

I'm playing the part of a university professor researching human behaviour through the use of e-mail chess. I'm offering the lads an opportunity to aid me in my research. Fortunately, my funding allows me to pay them for their participation, once they've played the requisite number of games, filled out all the relevant forms, etc.
Since I've had more lads reply to my initial email than I can deal with, I'm going to need a few other people who are willing to play email chess with the lads and help keep them on the hook Smile

Brilliant! I'll play one of your lads.

Thanks to everyone who's offered to help, that should be enough to deal with the lads I've heard from. Unfortunately I still havent got any to the stage of being ready to play, but you'll hear more as soon as they are!

If trash talking is allowed & encouraged, I'll be happy put the smackdown on a lad at chess. Let me know how it works.

I love the idea of frustrating the lads with sudden appearances of fairy pieces and other non-regulation moves. See http://maxxwolf.tripod.com/woody.html for reference.
