I found this group from the Intuitor page on Forchess (which I got to from a page about bad movie physics, which was in turn referenced on boingboing.net), and...
Mark, what's up? i haven't heard from anyone since last week. wechselstrom <no_reply@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Since Toxnx and I have played Forchess together...
I guess Dworks hasn't checked the messages in a while. Maybe Dan Percival would like to play in his place. I just talked to Toxnx, and he's still going to...

okay, i'm looking at the board on the home page. Do we go clockwise in this order? 1. White = Mark (Team A) 2. Black = Toxnx (Team B) 3. Brown = Dan (Team A) ...
We'll go clockwise in that order, but I'll be red, Toxnx will be white, Dan will be black, and Jack will be brown. Technically, the first player is the one on...
Let's get the game started. I'm opening with a4xa5. To answer your question about typical openings, Dan, this is one of the most common. I'm threatening one...
b5xb4 Jack, We should probably attack Mark (brown), since he's the most experienced of our opponents. I'm threatening his bishop, perhaps you should threaten...

To answer a few questions about the rules of Forchess: 1) Private collusion is strictly forbidden. All discussion of moves must take place openly and in the...
Dan, I'm going to continue my course of attack with a5xa6. That will presumably force Tox's hand (Ca7xa6) and enable you to carry out a similar intrusion with...
Dan, I would suggest either taking Tox's knight (Bf8xe7), which seems most appealing at first, or starting a pawn attack on Jack (h5xh4). We can't leave Jack...
h5xh4 Mark, since you can slow down Tox for a turn, I'm taking the opportunity as you suggest to open up against Jack. The other possibility I was looking at...
i know this is a demo game, but wouldn't it be more fun if we plotted in private? toxnx <no_reply@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Nc8xe7 Jack, if you continue your...

Jack, I'm assuming you'll continue on and take Mark's castle. We're going to have to think through the next few rounds carefully. Mark will take the pawn you...
I'll be away from email today, no chance to look at the board, but I'll move tomorrow. In the meantime: Mark, any thoughts? Better to double up the pressure on...
Not very much to say about this move. I mean, I could start talking about what I think the other players have going for them, but it seems like that helps the...

I'm taking Jack's pawn to get out of check and open up my castle on Tox's queen. Dan, as usual, you'll have to wait and see what Tox does before you decide on...

Dan, We have to strike a balance. If we try to take Tox out, he and Jack might try to take me out at the same time. It could prove a Pyrrhic victory at best....
