listing the configurations of each color on the 9 pieces.
listing the configurations of each color on the 9 pieces.
He then sketched in a circuit and picked out the color,
if any, that had the configurations that matched that
circuit. Later I realized that this method would not solve a
random set-up of pcs. - unless I didn't get what he told
me completely straight.
<u>Gary Sherbell</u> called. He went to <u>Bob Gellman</u> with <u>OPTION CHESS</u>.
Bob didn't look at it. Instead he had Gary <s>she</s> show it to
Frank (I'm not sure that is the right first name) Brady, who
-Gary was told- wrote a book on Bobby Fisher (spelling?).
Brady told Gary that he liked the other game (<u>NOVINKA</u>)
better because it was simpler.
<br>I told Gary that my understanding was that the fellow
who did the Fisher book was the one who made up the game -
so he certainly wouldn't be impartial. I'll confront Bob and
let Gary know what I find out. Gary said that he had
rather lost interest in the matter. He did appreciate my
trying to help him.
<br>Gary said that Brady had mentioned a book "A History of
<u>CHESS</u> Variations" or something like that.
BB finally typed the letter to Ken Harrison on
<u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> - that I wrote on 12/17.

When Reiss was looking for a supplier of plastics to put
out a line to replace the "Mag-Nif" line he got very high
quotes. Phil had his supplier - for "Gamut of Games" -
contact Reiss. The supplier got such a good order that
as a "finder's fee" he gave Phil and Anna a one week
tour to London. Phil will be back on 1/21/74.
He will see <u>Graeme Levin</u> in London.
<br>Phil would like the following S.P.I. games and wants the new
packaging (in order of preference): <u>AUSTERLITZ</u> (which is not
included on the new list of S.P.I. games), <u>WILDERNESS CAMPAIGN</u>,
<u>LEE MOVES NORTH</u>, <u>AMERICAN REVOLUTION</u>, <u>FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR</u>,
<u>1812</u>, <u>LA GRANDE ARMEE</u>.
