I hear Gee wants me to close this site down. I can’t for the life of me understand why, but I’m an agreeable sort, and I’m willing to comply. On one condition.

All Gee has to do is agree to play a 100-board IMP match, with a partner of his choice, against me and Justin Lall, who is already well-known to Gee Chronicles readers. Two experts against an intermediate and a child: piece of cake. And if he wins, I close down the site, forever, no tricks. But if, by some remote chance, he loses, the following conditions obtain:

• Open stats. For life. No resets either.
• Permanent readmission for all banned spectators. No future bans for any reason whatsoever.
• A permanent advertisement of my site, with the URL, on his stat card. Wording subject to my approval.

Now is that a reasonable offer or what?
