Gammonline has 3 parts:

1. An online match, Kit Woolsey vs. everybody else. Kit comments on
most of the players' plays and some of his own. We've just started the
twenty-fourth online match.

2. A discussion group where members discuss the online match, play/cube
problems, bots, match play and theory, tournaments/rules, and other
topics. Participants range from World Class to Novice.

3. An archive of

   (a) 117 articles, mostly written by Kit Woolsey, last written
   November 2003.

   (b) 54 monthly quizzes, 8 problems each with solutions/comments by
   Kit and Expert Panel

   (c) the first 23 online matches with Kit's comments and Snowie
   analysis

   (d) 1 annotated match

   (e) 626 positions where Snowie and GNU BG disagreed, analyzed by
   Snowie 3, Snowie 4, GNU BG, Jellyfish, rolled out by Snowie

Kit has no plans to continue writing articles or preparing monthly
quizzes, which is why the membership fee is now a one-time $36 payment,
not $36 per year.

Raccoon is correct, but there are many more than the annotated match.
In many of the back 'issues', there was an annotated match included.

GammonLine is a brilliant resource, and there is always great discourse
on the bulletin board regarding the on-line match and many other
situations that people post.  The smarts of the average poster is very
high.

The back issues go from July 1999 to Nov 2003.
