Hello rookies!

Hawkeye here. Wilt asked BAG062A and me to take over the group, as he is involved in a variety of other groups. As someone in the middle of 70 some games at the moment, I can understand. As I see it this group was created as a subgroup of the BP to highlight a players preference of a certain piece (e.g. I generally will try to trade down to a rook and pawn endgame and then use my rook to create havoc) That said before everyone else jumps ship I have some ideas to share with you to get this group rolling along...

a) challange some of the other BP sub groups *we have one team match game open that needs some folks http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match.html?id=17303)

b) create a forum with some games highlighting the rooks powers

c) Set up a forum on endgame play

d) (as much as we would hate to actually do it) create a forum discussing the merits of sacrificing an exchange with our rooks in order to win

Just some ideas, let me know what you think..

regards,

Hawkeye
