This is certainly the most personal way to publish the game scores.
Maybe we can also give a prize for the most readable sheet.

LOL, no we need an OCR capable PGN Viewer.

Someone should do a study on the inverse relationship between legibility and rating.

Works of art, if you ask me! Like something out of Edwin Winter's Unsolved Mysteries (15):

Absolutely revolutionary. With this, MonRoi's days are surely numbered. To think that you don't even have to use a stylus; just write the move down in algebraic notation. Has the inventor patented this?

Yeh but how does the "live" coverage work? Do you take the pages, scan them, crop them and post them to the internet after every move is written and then give them back to the players? Good luck in a time scramble! (Let's hope the pen doesn't run out of ink, which I've never seen happen to a stylus!)

I was thinking that an assistant TD could just send out smoke signals from the roof of the hotel.

Perhaps an assistant could videotape ...

That link is the most juvenile thing I've seen associated with chess since potty gate. I suggest the profile creater grow up.

The creator is a bit afraid to take credit, however as he has been very busy sending out the invitations during the past few days, and is unlikely to feel shame ,I will have to unleash the cat out of the bag, and suprise everyone by revealing his identity, his name is Braden Bournival.(????- 2007)

Bob,

Thanks again for these wonderful reproductions. I was able to play the games over the very next day, and they print out perfectly as well. I only wish you had a program that could read the handwritten scoresheets and convert them to pgn files. Are the B.U. geeks working on that one? Thanks for all the work you are doing as tournament director of the strongest BCC Championship in recent memory.
