No, actually, it is better now. Now there are so few
players at GetClub that when one of my games gets
locked up, Sanny quickly and efficiently responds
here. The trouble seems to have something to do
with my frequent disconnects, in conjunction with
the program allegedly "seeing" checkmate coming
but being directed not to resign until point x. If my
game is disconnected after it detects an oncoming
checkmate, when I reconnect it doesn't seem to
want to play a move. or resign. After several tries
or after several hours and a retry, the problem
vanishes.

When I play humans, I feel a bit awkward because
I am so used to playing the GetClub program, with its
crazy idio-sync-ricies (I can't spell that word to save
my life!).

The new Web site format has some logic flaws,
such as when I reconnect during play it asks me
TWICE what level I want to play, when in fact I have
no choice at all, according to Sanny. When I go to
start a new game, there are not one but TWO screens
where you are asked to choose your level. What may
happen if you choose one level on the first screen and
then change your mind for the second one I do not
know; maybe I will try it; I want to play against the
Advance level at ten seconds per move!
