castling and en passant - and pcs. [pieces] are involved. 3 pcs. per
person is far from trivial for <u>CHINESE CHECKERS</u>. (I asked
him why he didn't do it himself. It's just out of his line.)
<br>He suggested that, since the occult is getting more and
more followers - even among intellectuals, I might do well
with an ESP <u>GAME</u>. Told him that a number have been
done, without much success. (Mentioned that of the
people who buy <u>TAROT</u> cards I doubt if 1 in a thousand okay
actual games with them.)
<br>He told me of an acquaintance of his who plays <u>CHOMP</u> using
raisin set up in an array. The one to be avoided is a
different color (the one in the corner opposite the starting
corner). To remove the raisins an edge set with a
right angle is used for pushing them away. He said I
was welcome to make any use I wish of this idea.
