On-line blitz tourney October

[Spock]

An excellent tournament, thanks H.G. !
Zappa 1.1 crashed and lost on time against Tornado, and I was on tenderhooks after that, nervously hoping it wouldn't happen again

It was really great to be able to follow it with WinBoard from a separte computer now, and use all the chat windows to talk to people and capture the channel chatter!

And it uncovered one bug in the 4.4.1 alpha of WB (arrow keys).

Really looking forward to the next one - any idea of dates H.G. ?
This time I'll run Trace, unless Ross himself turns up in which case I'll go back to Zappa.

If people have doubts regarding the time, they can log on with this sequence in a console (directly in linux or after doing Start->All programs->accesories->command prompt in some Winodows versions):


telnet 80.100.28.169 5000
guest
<enter>
date

And they will get the local time in the server itself, to calibrate everybody's watches

This is what I get when in Chicago (CST) is 5:03 PM (17:03)

Vista does not seem to have telnet....

Try putty: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta ... nload.html

I don't think he spent the last 4 years trying.

But the thought is what counts.
