have ..+ it would be kind of kewl too look at a game i played ten years
ago for example..I also belive that is one reason i have stayed about
the same level of play over the years...

I have found that writing down the moves is not a
good idea. When I later type those moves in and
let Fritz take a whack at them, his analysis can
sometimes cause side-affects including shock,
depression, nausea, cackling, cursing, and even
gnashing of teeth. In one recent example, I was
shown that I had missed a simple mate-in-three.
No, definitely not. Just enjoy the game, and then
forget it ever happened.

My son is six and I have about 40 games of his in a DB. It is every
game he has ever played, with none missing. Hopefully we can keep that
up.

Why are you unable to play at GetClub Chess? While others are able to
play without any problem. I tested the and played a few moves. Got
Disconnected and tried to restart the game. The game starts without
any problem.

As far as I know, I can still play at GetClub --
just so long as I don't mind losing every game
by being forfeited at random in winning positions.

Disconnected and tried to restart the game. The game starts without

One key difference may be that I use a wireless
internet service provider /and/ the Mozilla Firefox
browser. I get a lot of error messages like "Web
page timed out" so this arrangement is far from
ideal, but in general I only have serious problems
with the GetClub site and two other specific sites.

A better question might be: how is it possible for
the GetClub program to forfeit people at random?
The mysterious inner workings of the program
have in the past made it necessary for countless
manual interventions to fix such errors as this one,
and there seems to be no end in sight.

A long time ago, it was pointed out that in a pop-
up window it was not possible to close the window
by clicking on the "X" in the top right-hand corner,
as is a Windows standard. The response was
basically "Too bad! Click the other box and it will
close", and I think this is typical of the sort of
programming skills we are dealing with here. I
would not be surprised if the program "somehow"
went into a "you resigned" routine after
encountering an unexpected value, such as too
many reconnects or even a single reconnect
where some time limit has already been exceeded
by the chess program.

A few improvements has been made.

Play Chess at: http://www.getclub.com/Chess.html

Now "Resign Now" Button will resign only after 4 seconds of your move
play. That is if you click resign now button when computer is
thi9nking it will not resign till 4 seconds has elapsed and its your
turn.

So Only when it is your turn it will resign but only when the button
was pressewd after 4 seconds.
