Hi, Carlos.

Well, Joe Joyce is back and certainly willing to step in but I think we need Fergus Duniho's go ahead. I tried calling him a couple of days ago and got a fax sound. I emailed a few of his email addresses after that. I will try the number again. I will try out a few more ways to get ahold of Fergus Duniho this week. (I would like to get in touch with him anyway to ask him how to disable one of Game Courier's features).

I'm game for your idea of playing in a tournament meanwhile that featured the games of one inventor. That's a great idea. If Courier #3 continues to stall, I think it would be fairest to choose Gifford, partly because he won last year's tournament and partly because he had the most games that gained entry into this Courier #3 tournament.

This could be the first of many inventor themed tournaments. Lavieri's games are very creative and have not gotten the attention they deserve so that would be high on my list too. I would love to play in a Joe Joyce tournament too. And a Christine Bagley-Jones tournament.

As of yesterday, Eric Greenwood and I have plans to sponsor a Courier Chess tournament at some point, possibly using Mod 5. We will likely be announcing that some time in the next three to five months.
