I am so sad to hear about Larry's passing. He was a true gentleman and lover of checkers.

Re: Alfred "Al" Lyman died

Al did a great job as the editor of the ACFB. His articles and play of the new openings were great. He will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace dear friend.

Re: Summer Tournaments

Alex, I hope you are right but I heard that it will be 2021 before International flights start back. President Trump wants to get flights going as you say as the Airline industry is hurting. Only about 5% flying now in U. S.. Anyway, lets get this virus over and get back to normal. I am 81 years old...

Re: Summer Tournaments

Has President Trump lifted the travel ban from Europe? If not don't see how Moiseyev vs Scarpetta
could take place. I may have missed him lifting the travel ban. Hope match plays as would be a
competitive match.

Re: alternative format for game scoresheets

Personally, I like it. When I used to type the games from the score sheets when I was secretary of the ACF, I always
experienced problems with the forms . A lot of mistakes were made. Keeping the two games together would help
when I was recording the games. Thanks for improving the process.

Re: Don Deweber "Mr. Checkers" died 9/13/2019

I communicated with Mr. Checkers for years and considered him to be a friend.
He promoted checkers most of his life and was a very interesting man.
RIP Don. You will be missed.

Re: WHERE WILL MANNING GO????

If Manning does not retire and Denver moves on from him, I think he will play for the Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles.
Also not surprise by Denver's win as Denver beat New England and I think New England was as good or better than Carolina.
