Re: TN State Open -  March 2nd thru 4th

That is tongue in cheek! In all seriousness, I felt that Watson Franks should have been awarded a draw in the game with Mi...

Re: Who is/was Charles Alberqueque?

Bob, I think I have the spelling right. I am curious that he does not appear at ACF checker tournaments of his era and wonder if he is challenging British masters why he did not play tournament checkers in USA. Picture of him on site as a studious player is interesting.

Re: 3 moves US National 2016.

If you let masters play 12 rounds of two games each, majors and minors should be allowed the same for the same time frame of Wed thru Sat!!
