I'm curious. Does anyone know what chess game is most easily
accessible to WebTV users, and why they think that posting to the
Usenet group gnu.chess will be helpful when they have problems with
it? This is the third message of this kind I've seen. I tried
replying to the first one, but that person was so clueless that he
still didn't understand he had posted to the wrong place. Whatever
game it is, the symptom of the computer changing the position out from
under the player (or at least the player thinking it did so) seems to
be common, which is pretty weird.
