From: Tony Salvaggione AOL COM> Date: 3 jun 1996 Subject: 2-piece handicap Hi! Just played a couple of games giving two pieces to a high school student of mine. He's improved over the last year from my beating him easily at 6 pieces a year ago to his recently having a three game win streak against me at 2 piece. Here's the first of the two games we played. I would appreciate comments if you care to give them. Thanks. Nathan Scalf vs. Tony Salvaggione 6/2/96 2-piece handicap 1. --, S6b 2. P7f, P5d 3. P4f, S5c 4. P4e, G3b 5. P3f, P6d 6. P3e, S2b 7.
