Scarpetta v King

[Richard Pask]

No doubt this is an obvious question, but are these games available to view anywhere?

Richard Pask, the Draughts News & Updates page on Face Book has the live feed of the games, and also has saved the feeds. There is also much commentary in the comments section.

In the comments section of today's live feed of Scarpetta vs King, in the Draughts News & Updates FB page, Ingo Zachos calls it:

Sergio Scarpetta wins match 8-1 and 17 draws.

Congratulations Sergio!

With 2 Points for a win, and 1 Point for a draw, that is 33 points for Sergio Scarpetta, and 19 Points for Ron King. Sergio retains the Crown. Former long time Champ Ron King shows he can still win a game in a World Championship Match.

Evidently Mr. Alex's suggestion of changing the 3 Move World Championship Match from up to 40 games to up to 32 games has been adopted.

Next Up: Will the next 3-Move World Championship Match be the special challenge of Alex Moiseyev vs Sergio Scarpetta?
I hope so!

Many thanks for this George. Are the games available in printed form?

[George Hay]

RJP, unfortunately I am unable to find the complete printed version of the match. Jim Loy has posted 4 games of the match so far on the ACF Forum, you have probably seen them, but I will post the link here:

I am sure that a future American Checker Federation Bulletin will publish the games.

Dear Jim,

Thank you so much for your efforts in making these and so many other games readily available!

PS Did you send your collection of Pillsbury games to the chess writer Edward Winter? I'm sure he would be very interested.
