TABL Opening
TABL is looking for a computer player, either BBW 5.75 or 6.1.

Parity -- the TABL just completed an 8-team playoff format and crowned a new champion, the 11th different member to win in the past 12 years. An interesting group of guys – each member fashions his own game reports, and some are now experimenting with AI. A good time to join – the winter drafts begin in late January. You will have a choice of teams. 2026 will be the TABL’s 59th season! Check out the websites - https://chrisorly.com/TABL/ and https://managethemayhem.wixstudio.com/tabl/.
