Re: Login issue with glChess

["Robert Ancell" <robert ancell gmail com>]

ps. I don't know if it's because of the timezone I'm in, but I've
never seen anyone in a GGZ chess room when I'm online. Do we have any
records of anyone successfully playing a chess game on GGZ? (Aside
from me testing now and then...)
