I thought you were saying that it didn't take any balls to play mumblety peg.

My mistake. 

Kid stabbed me in the wrist. Needed stitches.

Another time, fell on my knife. Needed more stitches (on the palm).

Probably just good advice in general for people to to avoid any place you are.

I thought the tough guys were all from Ohio, anyway.

The tough guys are from Kentucky! Didn't you see "The Asphalt Jungle"?

Thanks for the courtesy.

Chess is a game of testosterone...not courtesy. That would be mumblety pegs.

Besides, if you don't like what you've been reading...stop reading it.

This has been a courtesy advisement.

Actually, the solution to extended off-topic discussions by a few posters is _not_ for everyone else to "stop reading it."  Rather, it's for all of us to respect the "rules of the road."  One of the rules is that Forum Topics are designed for focused discussions on specific topics.

Erik started this Forum Topic to discuss an interesting and important topic, and I hate to see it hijacked.

If there's no one else out there who cares about this topic any longer, I'm fine with that -- I'll stop reading.  But if there are any others who wish to continue this conversation, please speak up!

Thanks for listening, all.

It looks like they have already made a decision, they call it multi-day tournaments so why not multi-day chess.

It was already suggested and Erik did like it. His favs were 'Daily Chess' and 'Anytime Chess', at one point anyway.

I vote for 'Anytime Chess' or 'Correspondence Chess'

"Seminar Chess" because they are long...
