Rcd. [received] NOST-ALGIA #160. Some of the pages were blank but from the index I determined they were not things I needed - mainly CHESS.

A new column by "Betza" says that in the future he will give rules for the following original games: HIGH-LOW CHESS, CONVERSION CHESS, WEAK!, ULTIMATE ULTIMA, METAMORPHIC CHESS.
Rules are given for XIANG-QI (CHINESE CHESS).
Also rules for DOUBLEMOVE CHESS, which was invented by Fred Galvin and appeared in NOUVEAUX JEUX D'ÉCHECS INTÉRESSANTS.
Rcd. THE GENERAL (Jul. - Aug. '73). Articles on LUFTWAFFE, WATERLOO, KRIEGSPIEL, MIDWAY.

Charlie, our postman, told me about an article in NEWSDAY about a game. He'll give it to me tomorrow.
