Only catch is that you have to be IN China. (some ...

Thanks. I'll get in touch.

PS: I live near Jinqiao Road station

The one I created called "my games" is not showing up there. (I looked there before and did so again just now)
the database and games are however shown in the program itself.

Maybe I did something really strange resulting in a bug or something.

for example how are you going to ...

why not do this experiment here on the forum.

Just select a finnished pro game and post the position at move 100.
from the finished game you already know how two pro's played out the game.
