Hello Matthew,

Bill Carter and I are playing a 24 game match and so far one game finished to a draw. The other games are about half way. Listed below are the openings we are playing. For the first time in mail checker history, the games are played live and can be reviewed by the members of Roberto's web site. For this to happen both Bill and I had to agree on this. The Danish Checkers association has some software that allows for checker matches to be seen by the entire world as they are being played. For example, the match between Morrison and King could be seen by all if they would agree to it. Also, players watching could make comments online about the match but the contestants would not see these remarks. For checkers to florish, I think this is the way of the future. My match is only the first step in this process .

Very interesting choice of openings. Players omitted Twilight Zone, but most critical openings are there. In difference with previous match two years ago - this match appears to be very uncompromised and more attractive. I wish both players good luck and doing their best, but indeed my personal support goes to Mac and I wish to defend his title.

Me and Mac somehow are "connected with titles". He've got his title in 2004 - a bit later than me, but close enough. I already had a chance to defend my title, and now it is Mac turn !

I agree with Mac, that online coverage of mail and regular matches and other events - is a great promotional tool which must be utilize in future.

My personal salute to Roberto and all other WODC members !

Respectfully,

Alex Moiseyev
