      The reason I don't post more frequently is that I'm submitting a paper to a conference, dead line is September 1...


      If you'd like to take a few days off from the game, that would not be a problem. Don't jeopardize the paper. BTW. If I might ask, what's the subject and what's the conference?

        kcbob and Carolus Rex. You guys are making this one had to follow without a board in front of me. It's been over 30 years since I played blindfold on a daily basis and I don't think in this new-fangled notation that you are using. I have to translate all the moves one at a time and it louses up my mental picture of the board.

        And Smash my last published rating is from 1973 and was 1150 - 1200 or somewhere there about. I was almost always somewhere in the first 5-6 boards for the first round of a 5 round Swiss. Top of the bottom half plays top of the top half. Your game improves real quick or your rating sinks like a rock.

          Ken, believe me this new notation is killing me, too. I've never played a game using it before. I do have a small board in front of me here at work but I'm hoping that if I screw up, Carolus will be kind enough to tactfully point it out to me.

          I never had a rating. My guess is that I would have been somewhere around 2500 +/- 2400.

          I'll tell you this about the current game. Carolus is about to go up a pawn and has a solid position. My only hope is that when I knock over my board... oh, wait. That won't work. Rats! Now I'm in trouble!

                  You have a board at work, too?!?! No fair! I thought I was the only one that was gonna cheat, so to speak.

                  BTW. Is your paper finished? And what's the subject/title? Would I understand it even if you told me?

                        LOL, there is no such thing as a finished paper!

                        Thesis advisor to Carolus Rex: "This is a good paper!"
                        Carolus Rex [surprised]: "Really???"
                        Thesis advisor: "Sure! It just has to be rewritten."

                        I've submitted it to the organisers, so in one sense it is finished. No more work on it for a while (except for preparing the presentation).

                        Maybe not from the title alone, but the economic intuition behind the formal model is pretty straightforward.

                        Enough about boring papers, on with the game!
