[pbmserv] Play the Improved Stymie

[Randall Bart <barticus@att.net>]

First a reminder to all that I am always accepting challenges in Stymie and 
ConHex.

If you have tried Stymie in the past and thought the board was hard to 
read, take another look.  Paul van Wamelen (fritzd) has enhanced the ASCII 
board, and added a web interface.  Paul has also added the swap 
rule.  There are a couple of niggling changes I still want, but the game is 
basically done.

I will have a Stymie tournament here starting later this year.  I don't 
have a date yet, but figure about October.   Now would be a good time to 
get in some practice games.  I am working with a plastic cutting place to 
produce a small run of Stymie sets.  The winner of the tournament will get 
a genuine Stymie set.  When Stymie becomes world famous (as it inevitably 
will), this rare First Edition Stymie set will be a collectors's item.

In appreciation for the work that Paul has done enhancing Stymie and 
producing the web interface, and in appreciation for Cameron Brown 
inspiring the invention of this game and doing the initial implementation, 
I have made a donation of $150 to Gamerz.net.  Oh Richard, the PayPal link 
at http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv/ is still seriously broken.  That format 
hasn't worked since 2002.  This link does what you want:
