This coming weekend, the best times for me are Saturday at 2:30 PM EST
and Sunday at 3:30 PM EST. Then, the last match can take place the
following Saturday at 2:30 PM EST. If there is a problem with this
schedule, I'm sure Michael will post here and we'll try to reach a
compromise. Another issue is the match analysis. Could you post a
link here to analysis of the last three matches, Michael? Thanks.

These times work for me. The issue is Venue. Since you've been a good sport
it will be your choice for venue for the next 2 matches. The requirements
for a server are: That dice logs are obtainable for match analysis, the site
has no fees to signup, kibitzers are allowed to watch, and supports a match
length of 15.

The last match I would like to play on Fibs (I haven't played a match there
in years). Funny thing Is there is an mpetch on that site who is actually
not myself. I'll have to figure out what account I used previously :). I've
selected Fibs for the last one since there was interest in that being a
venue previusly.

Let me know your thoughts, and ideas for venue, and the idea for Fibs.

As for match analysis. I have posted all 4 matches and their analysis in
Update posts in the forum (Usually within a couple hours). Not sure why you
would have missed them, but I'll repost all the links here:

I should point out the mpetch on the site is legitimate and was a player who
signed up there well before I ever started playing BG online. I didn't mean
to suggest it was someone cloning me.

I'd prefer to just keep playing on the same site. I really don't want
to keep downloading new software, especially for one match.

I will accept that for the next 2 matches. WGC it is. However the last match
will be on fibs. The reality is for the money I gave you its a small price
to pay. After match #6 you can uninstall WGC and install a fibs client of
your choice. When its all over you can uninstall fibs.

I've been pretty fair about all this, and worked to fit into your times and
your vacation. I don't think many people can say I have made it burdensome
on you.

Okay, just post a link here for a FIBS download.

This is a tough one since I haven't played in years. I downloaded a MAC
client for Fibs, but many people I know who use Fibs utilize a windows
client called 3DFibs. I'm not sure if its the best client or not, but I can
post a link.

PS: There are many clients to choose from given the open nature of the game
protocol (Telnet/ASCII forms the basis). Other people on this NG may have
better recommendations.

I've been pretty happy with 3DFibs. It's windows only, if that matters
to you.
