DECEMBER 1976 - MONDAY 20
355TH DAY - 11 DAYS TO COME

Logomachy gives rules for NINE COLUMN UNCRASH and an ALPHABETICAL UNCRASH variation
Rcd. NOST-ALGIA #199. Phil Cohen gives annotated game of
SPHERICAL CHESS, rules for DZIEJMA by Alan Dziejma.
Rcd. X'Mas card from Phil Orbanes and family.
Rcd. envelope from Phil Orbanes with rules for NET WORTH, with short note.
Rcd. X'Mas card from Mike Abrams.

Made new layout for ROUND & ROUND and, since I had used the
original art of SEARCH by mistake, I taped on a repro of SEARCH
for getting repros tomorrow. Made a new double layout for PEACE CONFERENCE.
Before this wrote rough rules for PEACE CONFERENCE, SEARCH,
ROUND & ROUND, and RESOURCES. BB typed them in the evening.

Played 3-hand PEACE CONFERENCE, with BB and Dana. Turned over
a card from the 4th hand for all to see. Discovered that each
player, in turn, can be allowed to form bipartite agreements - the
others playing cards a distance away. One possible correction is
to need 4 (or possibly 5) bipartates to win.

Wanted to speak to Howie Barasch about routing some of the non-war
games to me. But he was busy with a visitor.

Bob Gellman with the 4 pawns (see 12/17). I asked and he
told me to help myself. Took 6 packages of pawns - 4 - each of
white, yellow, green, and brown in each.
[?]d send up lunch. Bob mentioned that Charlie Philips had been in and
spoke of meeting me. I asked if he was doing any games for them.
