Hi everyone. I have some suggestions for all your correspondence threads.
- Say you start a thread with an open challenge to play a correspondence game. Example threads would be called
Up for a game anyone? or
Pic vs anyone. To anyone but the players, it is unclear who is playing who in both cases. I think it's a good idea to
rename your thread in such a case to include both player names.
The thread starter can rename the thread by editing the first post of the thread. Also, I'm able to do so.
Note that I have renamed the aforementioned threads to include the player names in (White - Black) format.
- Another suggestion I'd like to offer. I've noticed that in the game threads, only one move is posted (possibly with comments). For me (again as outsider) it is hard to follow the game. I would imagine that it would get a little foggy to the players as well if you don't have the exact board position/movelist at hand or in mind.
I would suggest players keep (and update as they go) a complete movelist.
So for example:

I would be happy to post movelists of the games already in progress if anyone doesn't feel up to backtracking through the game (though for some games the first move(s) seem to be missing). It would definitely help to outsiders to follow your games.
(Note: If any of the players in the threads mentioned want their threads renamed back to the original, inform me and I will do that immediately)
There you have it folks. Let me hear what you think.
