Richard, please return to size 24 for the next championship

That's my opinioin. I don't mind playing size 30, as long as it is a separate division.

I would like more participation in the next cycle, not less.

I agree 100%. Having the standard Twixt championship at size 24 and another at 30 is the best.

+1

I agree. I know I will resign all of my games if we have another 30x30 championship. I just don't have the time to think through the more complex 30x30 games in a championship. This last one was just too much for me.

Regarding Twixtbot's participation, the sooner it beats higher rated players, the sooner it will achieve its own true rating. So it's okay with me if I take rating hits until then.

I just hope we know what the answer will be before it starts so I can sign up or not...

Maybe you could sign up, but set the bot to refrain from making any moves.

I did my part in raising the rating of Twixtbot recently. I was handed a paper bag with "Hairspring's ass" written on it in large friendly letters.

I have a similar bag lying around here somewhere.

Heh whom am I kidding, I have a collection. Maybe I will build a display case.
