Game Notes:

1) I had a number of questions about starting positions, so I set up starting positions in the szine in this issue. Note we also will begin with 1751 as that is the correct starting date for this variant. Double thanks to Robert Stimmel for re-verifying this.

2) May we have a Miller Number for this game from Lee Kendter, Jr., please?

3) Note that Stan Johnson has moved.

Press:

(BOOB): No press! Aaaghhh!! How do you expect anyone to follow this if you don't write press??? See how the Secrets players get the idea....
