We should come up with a naming convention for the threads and a boilerplate for the first post, laying out the rules and requests for others who are viewing.
Okay, good.
The title can be something as simple as:
Chess: Reyn vs Cycloptichorn (or Cycloptichorn vs Reyn, depending on who takes what colour)
That way, it will tell others, if they're not interested in chess, that a game is in progress.
Unfortunately, some wiseacre can come by and put in a spoiler move for either side. So, some frusteration may occur.
I would prefer that no outside help be given to either side, and of course, the usual correspondence chess rules, that being, no chess engines, etc.
I, myself, don't use any aides of any kind, once a game is in progress. The only thing that I may use is WinBoard, as a way to play the moves. The advantage being that you can vary the size of the board. I don't have any chess engine attached to it.
