To GAMES Magazine. Spoke to Ronnie Shushan and FIFI WEINERT Fifi Weinert about SENET. I read over the manuscript from Timothy Kendall Ph.D. and his suggested rules. They gave different goals for the two players. I said that I didn't know of any ancient game with differentiation and doubted whether he was correct - but I couldn't prove it. They made repros [reproductions] of pages from A HISTORY OF BOARD GAMES OTHER THAN CHESS and P's board and rules. We agreed that their rules were probably jazzed up for the popular taste. They ran off repros [reproductions] of the entire article for me and FIFI Fifi said she'd call on Friday to get my opinion as to whether the game plays or not. (She didn't call.)
