Thinking of joining Kit Woolsey's GammOnLine and wandering if anybody
had anything negative to say about the service.

Kit's site is the best learning tool (other than actually playing) that I
have ever seen and I have read almost all the books and seen many of the
sites.  It is worth WAY more than the 36 dollars per year that he charges.
For those who want to improve their money and tournament play it is (IMHO)
practically a gift.

It is an excellent service for all levels of players. I think being a
member also gives you access to previous issues. There are new articles
every month, a bulletin board much like this newsgroup and an ongoing match
between the readers and Kit where we all vote on the best move against him
every day. The first 11-point match we lost to that lucky duck 11-7, but
we're leading the latest 1-0 and the second game of this match is a very
close race.

There is also a monthly quiz based on 8 different problem positions.
Everyone make their choices and they are registered. The solutions come out
the following month and the reader with the highest score wins a free
one-year subscription to GammOnLine. The scoring is done in a very fair way
because you score points for each puzzle based, not only on a Snowie
analysis, but that of  9 other human judges or panelists.

I like Kit's newsletter a lot and recommend it, definitely worth many times
more the $3.00 a month he charges for it.
