i had a Best 2 out of 3 Match on May 9th:

If you download and unzip a dropbox file labeled rxYYMMDDa.zip (for year, month, day, game-letter), then when you use your File Explorer and select the subdirectory, you will see some jpg files and 2 other files. The first file is exrxYYMMDDa.txt and is a simple Notepad text version of the ezrxYYMMDDa.html file, which is an html file. If you double click the ezrx html file it should pop open your internet browser to a page with a blow-by-blow description of that game after a canned Introduction paragraph that says:


"Xong™ is a two-player abstract game invented by Nathan A. Smith in 1996, evolved from another game he invented in 1982, QuintHex™. QuintHex™ was the first game to employ the placement of pieces made of hexagon legs to surround hexagons for territory points....[deletia]....with varying degrees of browser cooperation in making the fake trademark symbols come out ok."



Then after that paragraph comes a list of links to the figures. Clicking on a link takes you to that part of the description with its associated jpg. Under each jpg are links to the previous jpg, the next jpg and the top of the whole page.

cheers and Happy Mother's Day!
