I have no plans to do this :) Assuming they are strip of annotations - a case could be made either way in my opinion. Putting the games them in a different order may help. I actually believe chess players should be compensated for the gamesscores of the chess games they play. It is really one of the few arts & sciences where the creators get no compensation for ther creativity (unless they write a book about it). I think prfoessional "Go" players get paid for their gamescores - not 100$ sure.
