Great idea!
This is easy to do for anyone who owns a Cosmos and has access to FICS (telnet
freechess.org 5000).
Login and play SapphireII, an auto-playing Novag Sapphire II. I try to keep it
available 24 hours a day, although I have been having problems with my internet
connection lately.
Please leave a message here or on FICS ("message SapphireII ...") to arrange a
time to meet for a match.
