Count me in.

The ruleset you describe sounds like something my engine could take on. 
I meant to send a follow-up about the last chess match, which I never 
did completely automate because of the subtleties of piece movement. I'd 
be happy to run another chess game for B but not under the Field Match 
framework. Spork's is now "move 18 hours after creation or last move" 
and it seems to have turned into a balanced game, e.g. no player has 
been able to dominate the board without serious politicking.

Paprika looks more straightforward, to the point where I wonder if you 
wrote it to coax me into automating it. Worst case I'll try to mimic the 
demo game and see how close I can get.

I set up a bnomic@xxxxxxxxx account a while back if you want to send 
secret commands there.
