Russ, one very small thing-- as you scroll down the list of players in the room, the yellow pointer doesn't move as far down as the green highlight, so by the 10th player or so the pointer is pointing to the name above the highlight. This is a little confusing.

Overall it looks great!

I just did a quick update (0_3_1) this morning. It fixes this problem (and a couple of others)

1501 ... Still leading ... come and get the Slow Pawn (if you can ;-)



PS: Russ I think if someone disconnects then he/she should loose the game and rating points as well as dropping in reliability percentage ... Just my thoughts

The current system won't save you either if you have a bad connection.Your reliability will drop and nobody will want to play you 'cause they think you disconnect when losing.
Games should be stored so you can resume them when you get back online,it's the only way to solve this problem.But I don't know if it's possible in the U-chess format.

Short version of feedback i've sent:
Played first game,upon facing inevitable loss,my oppo disconnects.On purpose or not,I don't know.The board shows that my oppo wins!!??My stats show 0 games,1 disconnection,100% reliable.2nd game I win,but now I have 0% reliabilty!!??Why of course,1 game + 1 disconnection= 0% reliability.But i never disconnected!I saw in U-chess' general forum that wib had the same problem.Anyone else?

Russ-- it seems that pawn promotes automatically to queen in Uchess-- that's not so good.

Great Russ,

That way people will soon realise that disconnecting is not worth doing as they looose out rating-wise and realiability wise ...

And for those that 'honestly' get disconnected for what reasons ever... I have played close to 100 games at Uchess and not been disconnected once. But if it does happen then I'm still 99% reliable which I'm sure is good enough to play anyone there ... I just mean that as long as it doesn't happen too often, people don't need to be afraid ;-)

Boris

PS: Great job russ
