2024 US vs. Italy Team Match

[John Acker]

Hi everyone,

Watson Franks (main referee) and I (assistant referee) are officiating next week's US vs. Italy team match. In addition to streaming match videos, I will be transcribing the scoresheets and posting games here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CmI ... sp=sharing. If anyone would like to help transcribe games (there will be 100 to get through), please email me at acker.jt@gmail.com or post a reply here.

The main match website is https://tinyurl.com/vidormatch, videos will be at https://www.youtube.com/@watpics/videos, and Facebook updates will be on the Vidor Checkers page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089166612913.

Apparently all of the games have been posted at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CmI ... xr5cr5lica. Good work by Watson Franks.

I hope to annotate the games and publish them, maybe as a free e-book on the Checker Maven website (https://www.bobnewell.net/nucleus/). That will probably take several months to accomplish.

Actually, the game transcriptions were all done by Jon Chappell, Connor Nees, and me-- Watson was not involved.

Regarding a match book, Alex Moiseyev has similar plans, so you might compare notes with him. I think he is going to work on his AMG project first.
