The issue of banning Falcon Chess from Game Courier did come up a few years ago. Back then, the issue was that the game was patented. At that time, George assured me that he would not be emulating the behavior of a certain other CV patent-holder. So I allowed Falcon Chess to remain on Game Courier. Those circumstances have now changed. Until George Duke works things out with H. G. Muller and gives me his assurance that he will never forbid the non-commercial development and distribution of programs that let people play Falcon Chess, no new games of Falcon Chess may be started on Game Courier. For the sake of those playing ongoing games, these will not be affected.
