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.

Sky farms are fantastically beautiful, with their kilometer long networks of glass framed in grids of metal, and the sunlight shining through jungles of vegetation inside. When one of them catches the light, you can see the refracted beauty for miles; they are life-giving stars on a desolate planet...gardens on the wing.
~Lady Deidre Skye ‘Planet Dreams’
