Dear Klaus,

No I never had the privileged to know him. I only played with one friend occasionally on original Conquest on 4p board. Sometimes we would play with 2 newcomers.

Here is my Turn 3:

B713-735 = 2
B731-734 = 3
Gess712-733 = 2
K133-G704 = 1
Gk704-714 = 6
Ds A24-A20 = 3
N A25-A19 = 3
Total = 20

Kind Regards
Andre

Good evening Andre,

when I played Donald Benge (maybe two times and he was the winner!) we could use a special software which made it easier to play by email. It was written for Windows 3.11. I think he intended to produce something like a typical chess software someday in the future...
Here's my turn 3:
B522 - 509 3P
B523 - 508 4P
B814 - 815 1P
GK813 -600 8P
S228 - D226 1P
S217 - E216 1P
S218 - Es216 1P
Ess216 - 217 1P

Total: 20P

Kind regards

Klaus

Thank you dear Klaus,

The 2 player board is a different feel with no Conquest Island in the middle.Also Grand Conquest adds many new tactics ... Its great fun, whatever happens

Here is my turn 4:

B735-866 = 6
B734-825 = 6
Gk714-826 = 3
Gess733-737 = 4

Total =20.
Nowadays with cell phones, I guess we can take a pic of the board, here it is after my turn.

Kind regards
Andre

Dear Klaus,

Yes we can try a 4p game board after. I like the 2p board, is all new to me. Tactically is similar but strategically different. I enjoy, I can see you are a very strong player ...
