Sorry Ric. It's just that my time is often quite limited as well, and I'm interested in getting as much playing in as possible. As I thought about it, though I felt bad depriving the game of a satisfactory ending, the fun was sucked out of it by such unbeatable odds, yet knowing that my part would likely drag on for days or weeks.

So I don't remember just how restricted you are when you get back to Alberta. Are you completely unable to play?

Do you want to try Shogi4? I'm sure we could finish a little game like that in less than 18 days. If not, feel free to suggest something else.

Post, it's been a pleasure, you'll be missed, but I hope to see you around when work lightens up.
