Reliability.

I can't use yahoo chess because it just isn't reliable.  Why?  Dunno, 
don't care, I'll just use something else.

I would like two interfaces:

One on the web, to configure the game, to select opponents, and so forth.

Then, a second interface, running natively, for game play.  At least, 
that seems best to me.  Of course, that means writing a full blown java 
app, or something, to make the client cross-platform, but..

perhaps existing interfaces can be cobbled together?
