Please read before you start your first game in the Pit.
General
Entering a move is simple, but requires a fairly strict format. First and foremost:
- Put the cursor on a cell to get the coordinates and the piece, if present.
- If applicable: the applet does not accept shorthand notation.
You must comply with the required format.
- However, the applet is basically a board and, provided the format is correct, will accept illegal moves just as a physical board would. There's an extended 'undo' function that allows you to take back any number of moves, provided the opponent cooperates by taking back his.
- With the command menu you can undo your last move, end a game by accepting a loss, or negotiate a draw.
Specific
- Black moves first.
- Just specify the cell, e.g. 'h3' - capture will follow automatically.
- If you find yourself in a lost position, please choose 'Resign' from the command menu as your 'move', to acknowledge and officially end the game.
New
- The Gonnect applet is now 'clickable'. When placing a stone, just click the cell.
It will be marked and the corresponding move will appear in the "your Move" field.
- To clear, click on the bottom-right button [>>>|] (go to end). Now you can start over.
- The click method only works in the end position. When you're happy with the move, enter your password and click "Submit move" as usual.
