Re: Tafl in the Basque Country
Jan. 25th 2024 Summarizing; These would be the steps to follow: 1-First I have to read the rules well; I think there is in Spanish.

Re: World Tafl Federation
There has not been an Honorary Hnefatafl Master since Peter Kelly 2014 ten years ago. Presuming you can have such a title also when alive, I would now propose for Honorary Hnefatafl Masters : Tim Millar ("Crust"), Somerset, UK. Adam Bartley ("Adam"), Tønsberg, Norway. - the three of us worked togeth...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
I believe it must be accepted that "correspondence" format games last a long time. Thank you for the thoughts! It's a dilemma. All players, with a few exceptions, want quick games, and in reality it's not possible because of time zones etc. The x1 timing (2 hours per move, buffer 2.5 day) was found...
