Hi and Suggestion For Group Match

    Hi, Paul Morphy Groupmates.  I have deep admiration for Paul Morphy, and I was delighted to discover this Group.  Pleased to meet you all.  FYI, before I knew about this Group I started a Forum Topic (in the Forum "Games Analysis") called "Morphy's Games."  No need for me to keep that Topic going any more!

    I have an idea for a Group match (maybe a Vote Chess group match, if that's possible).  There are probably other Groups devoted to other famous players.  For example, I know that there's a Capablanca Group.  How about setting up a match between our Group and one of those?  We can pretend that both players arose from their eternal slumber for "one more game," and this is their chance to prove which one is better, once and for all!  We would do our best to "play like Morphy", and our opponents would do their best to "play like (e.g., Capablanca)."  Thoughts, anyone?

    Let's start a Morphy vs. FIscher vote chess match. Should be fun ! Can we assemble enough interest for that?

     I'm in!!  I don't know how to start a vote chess match, but if you do, please go ahead -- I'm sure we can muster enough interest.  Thanks!

    A Vote Chess match between our group and the Fischer group sounds terrific.  Can one of our Group Admins help set this up?
