Yes, I would send the complete game with each move. I think you are right, this basically becomes a turn based server. For computers only I would probably implement it in such a way that you could log on and off simply to report your moves and get a new list of positions to play. But I'm really not that much interested in such a thing, it's just an interesting problem that I think would be more fun solving that actually doing. - Don > > > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > computer-go@computer-go.org > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
