What's in a name?

[Kelen]

..I try to get both sides to not number the turns. This way the new file just overwrites the old one and there is no mess on the screen when looking for the different games..

Yah I finished a game not so long ago against a guy who does that, its a great simple system but always at the back of my mind was the nagging thought that if we lose a file through corruption or whatever (it does happen) we've got no way to go back to an earlier file to pick up again from there, and will have to abandon the game.
So for that reason I only use that system if the other guy insists.

Surely at the end of the day you use a file naming system that meets YOUR needs.

Yes hopefully you would agree, but if your opponent insists on certain format but you do not wih to adopt it because it deosn't meet your needs, (e.g. turn numbering so that you've always got a back-up should things go wrong), then either you can re-name it when you send it, (the more curteous otion), or leave it as you've named it and let your opponent re-name how they want when they receive it.
