Subject : Your Atomic Page

Hi Nick,

i just found your Atomic-Page http://www.xare.net/chess/atomic/ in the Net, and i am glad to see my User-Handle all around. You have to know, i’m “JoelH”, one of the Guys who wrote this first Atomic Openingbook. It’s really a long time since we made this stuff, but some lines are still played :) It is interesting, that 1.Nh3, which was introduced on GICS by a the Computerprogramm TrojanKnight, is still unrefused and complicated for black. Some weeks ago i reactivated my Handle on FICS and played a couple Atomicgames, but its really hard, the players learned a lot, as well as i forgotten even the mainlines :(

Some Words to Atomix, a lot of the lost games came because of time and lag problems, the program had no timeseal.

Jonas ‘JoelH’ Hoffmann
