The GAME is fun, but the technical issues aren't exactly going to draw me back...

Eh, you were in bad trouble with the revealed check, but it's a mistake to resign to me - I screw up if you just hang on.

For them as is following along at home, here's the game - lamentably, you have to read the log up form the bottom.



BUncle: [X]

 Fair enough


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 Match has ended by resignation : BUncle Wins


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





NewAgeOfPower: [X]

 Thanks


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 NewAgeOfPower has moved : Nxe5


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 BUncle has moved : Nxc3


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 You make me very happy...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 NewAgeOfPower has moved : a3


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 bit, nothing.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 BUncle has moved : Bb4


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





NewAgeOfPower: [X]

 this lag and needing to refresh is a bit annoying


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 NewAgeOfPower has moved : Nc3


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 ...You overlooked and enprise pawn & check...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 BUncle has moved : a6


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 NewAgeOfPower has moved : Bb2


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





NewAgeOfPower: [X]

 Castling is not a bad move


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 $#@!  Stupid!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 BUncle has moved : O-O-O


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 NewAgeOfPower has moved : b3


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 Grrr.  This is getting old quick.  It was fun while it worked.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 BUncle has moved : Qd7


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





NewAgeOfPower: [X]

 ugh, sub-optimal play. Oh well


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 NewAgeOfPower has moved : Nb5


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 And again...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 BUncle has moved : Be6


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





NewAgeOfPower: [X]

 Well, at least it worked.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 NewAgeOfPower has moved : Nc3


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 Had to do it again to move...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 BUncle has moved : Qd6


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 I looked at settings - when I came back to the game, it let me move.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





NewAgeOfPower: [X]

 it worked!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 NewAgeOfPower has moved : Nf3


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 Aha!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





NewAgeOfPower: [X]

 Refresh?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 BUncle has moved : Nc6


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 Yep.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





NewAgeOfPower: [X]

 Well, this is buggier than SMAC ;p


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 First thing I tried.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





NewAgeOfPower: [X]

 It rejected my move, then I tried it again.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





NewAgeOfPower: [X]

 I've made my move...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 I've been trying for several minutes.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





BUncle: [X]

 Something's wrong - it won't let me move


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 NewAgeOfPower has moved : Qe2

Okay, the PM notification on every move won't do - at least not for casual and quick games.  Fills your inbox quick.

It seemed consistent once it stopped working right, for me.

I had the board set too small - not a real problem - but it sucked that I had to scroll down to see the chat once I found it.

so, it's annoying if you want to move fast, but what about a slow pace game?

An arbiter?  Wow.  If your game is strong, I have a feeling that Petek is...

I believe you can turn off PM notification for this?  If you can, and especially if there a setting for notification on the first move and no other, this is not a problem - just that a very short game generated 14 PMs -and email notifications of the PMs.
