Hello,

Any more practice questions of these games?

Unfortunately (or very fortunately, I suppose) there have only been a few of these ever, and every one that has appeared is addressed online, likely in the resources you're examining.

Speaking of, where are you looking to find additional information on this game type? I want to make sure you're seeing the full extent of what's available.

There hasn't been one for a VERY long time though so I imagine you're seeing everything there is to see

I went through the profile charting games module on the student centre.

Hello! Is there a list of profile charting games? I see that October 2001 Game #1 is a Profile Charting Game, but are there any others? Thanks!

Hi Caroline!

That is actually the only one of the modern era! Those games used to be fairly common in the 1980s, then they died out in the 1990s since there is an excellent method of attacking them, and those who knew it could crush those games. And I mean crush—3-4 minutes finishes weren't uncommon once you know to make the chart. so, they pulled it for years until 2001, and then three one in, and it predictably got a bunch of people who didn't know to chart the variables and look for opposites and pairs. So, do I think they will appear again? Yes, I do. But I don't know when Just make sure you know what to look for and these games get very easy.

Thanks!
