Competition Number 2
Hello All,
Last months contest was a real success so we thought we would run a similar one this month.
The last question was about Steve and Mark. This month I thought I would ask one which only I will know the answer to.
How many Chess books do I own?
This is good old-fashioned books on printed paper not including magazines. I recently won the 2006/7 British Correspondence Chess Championship and consulted many of these books. During the final and in attempting to qualify over the last several years.
The rules are the same as last time:
1. We are going to allow each member 2 entries so you may wish to enter once and see how the thread develops and then have another go. Only 1 prize per member.
2. Only these 2 entries for each person, if we discover that people are creating multiple logins they will be disqualified. we can see ip addresses etc of posters.
3. The closing date for entries will be 30th September 2007. If no correct answer is received then the closest will win. If there is a tie then the person who posted the correct answer 1st will win a prize.
4. All entrants must have their real name included in their profile. If you do not know how to add it ask me and I will explain.
There are 2 prizes this month:
1 member will receive a years subscription to Selective Search magazine. http://www.elhchess.demon.co.uk/sscontnt.htm
1 member will receive a Hiarcs product of their choice. An existing customer of Hiarcs.com can chose a free upgrade to their existing product when it becomes available.
All prizes supplied by www.countrywidecomputers.co.uk and www.Hiarcs.com
Please post your guesses in this thread.
Good Luck,
Harvey

Re: Competition Number 2 - Enter Now!
500 Chess Books
You'll have to wait for my second guess, a lot of reading to do.
Bookworm regards,
