Re: 2024 US GAYP National Updates
Mr. Alex, I use the term "old man" as a complement of course! As it is a complement in South Africa, I use it in the ACF Forum. I was born in 1955, so I am older than Ron King. Mr. Alex, to answer your question, you too are "old man" in the best possible sense!

- What do you like about checkers?: Hi, checkers is a technical strategy game much like chess with a never ending way to improve your game. I have played both American pool and straights checkers as well as a little 10x10 and they are all great games.

Re: 2024 US GAYP National Updates
Who is suppose to publish the games? To my knowledge no one has volunteered. And the editor with ACF puts them in the bulletin so they should show up there eventually
