Getting back into the game after a few years away. Back in the day, I used to love reading the Toby Harris expert series. They are listed here ...

https://diplom.org/Zine/list.html

but are not actually available, the links are broken. Does anyone know if they are available somewhere?

I, too, was a PBEM player and fondly remember the diplom.org "zines." Lots of great material. It looks like starting in mid-2015, the links to individual zine articles don't point to the right place. As best I can tell, the articles still exist and it's just a matter of fixing the links. I'll have more on this in a few days.

I’ve actually been putzing around there lately too and noticed the issue with the site. The library of Diplomacy openings also seems to be broken, but like Trigfea said you can get to the individual pages with enough googling. It’s a really great resource, hopefully it doesn’t go down the tubes. And now I’m intrigued by this Toby Harris series!

The URL of The Diplomatic Pouch seems to change every few years for whatever reason. Once it's sorted out it would be good to update here:

Try that one:
https://diplom.org/Zine/list.html

It got updated up to 2021 (contrarily to the one at the end of your link, that got stopped after 2017)

Thanks GuineaPig! I just find those articles fun to read and re-read once in a while, there is some unconventional stuff in them and from a former World Champion.
