Well, Habeascorp, there won't be any writ bringing yours truly into internet high court. I've make good. What a rare privilege those memorable moves must have been. As gentlemen, we'll waive the "draw or win" requirement. As a matter of curiosity, did you save the game's notation? If so, I'm sure greenpawn34 and many others will be interested. Thanks. -Bob
