Thanks for putting together a Game Courier version of Sac Chess, Carlos. I didn't guess a variant of mine would be on Game Courier so soon (if ever).

I'm still new to the Chess Variants Page, and I've been shy about trying out the Game Courier. I tried email chess games years ago and found it a bit taxing (computer engine assistance and use of books were allowed, too, not such a problem for a lot of chess variants I suppose). I also tried reading some of the lengthy documentation for Game Courier a while ago, and though it looks daunting I can probably get a handle on the most essential parts to know as far as playing any game by email, when I feel like trying it out (by the New Year, if not sooner). I'll keep you in mind as an opponent at Sac Chess or any Hexagonal variant(s) if you still wish.

Earlier today I saw a diagram for the Sac Chess starting position on Game Courier invitations (I happened to check for any Sac Chess games being played there), and it looked much nicer than my attempt at a diagram in my submission for Sac Chess on the Chess Variants Page. Thanks again.

Kevin
