Excellent contest, guys!! <p>While I am too busy to offer my services as a judge for the contest itself, I am willing to play-test my entries with any judge in the contest. I am willing to play by email with anyone who has ZILLIONS OF GAMES. All we have to do is email each other the algebraic notation of the move we are playing, and use ZILLIONS to record and save the position of our game. I will play one game of ULTRA SLANTED ESCALATOR CHESS and/or SCHIZOPHRENIC CHESS with any bonafide judge in the contest. If you wish to set up a match email me at [email protected] if it bounces back as undeliverable (often happens when I am over my storage limit) try me at [email protected] I will play one game of each or if preferred only one game of one of those two with any judge, and I will defer the choice of color allocation to the person who challenges me. btw I suggest that other people who have entries in the contest and are willing to play-test their games with the judges in this contest by email in much the same way I am describing here, post their email addresses on this comments page and solicit challenges from judges. btw might I suggest that no judge views both games from the same person this might help give a fresh perspective-- I am not the only person who has 2 entries in the contest--- what do you guys think? Is it a big deal if the same judge views both entries by the same player or should they be broken up between 2 different judges?
