Two years ago I suffered a catastrophic hard drive crash. That, plus
things which happened to me in my personal life prevented me from
participating in the online community known as 
http://www.chessvariants.com

That is, until now. I'm back! I want people to know that I have a new
email address where I can be contacted. It is

[email protected]

I am also here to announce that I will soon be organizing new tournaments
in Omegachess and Doublechess on Richard's Play By Email Server.
To participate you must have a userid on Richard's PBM Server 
(the front page is at http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv
and from there you can find links that explain how to sign up for a 
free userid and password, and a tutorial on how play on the server
works).
Email me if you are interested in participating. 

I hope that as time goes by I will also be inspired to create new chess
variants and submit them to this site. I encourage everyone to take a 
look at my previous submissions to this web site and share your comments
about them in this forum. I also want people to know that I am willing
to accept challenges to play Existentialist Chess via this web site's
Game Courier. Send me an email if you're interested.

I hope that people who I remember like Benjamin Good and David Howe
and Hans Boedlander are still regular contributors to this web site.
It really has been a long time since I've been able to get online
but I am back now, and it is good to be back!
