He has, but he don't know what he's doing. Is it in the right place, or should I have chosen Live Chess?

I've accepted and waiting for him too. Hope the site doesn't go weird like the last time I had two games.

Click the 'analyse' button for doodling and stuff (no computer aides, don't worry). Conditional moves plays things automatically for you if you predict the next move he will play correctly.

Both games in operation now - LLS made (so far) a normal opening - no Budapest, no Ponzianni - all very pleasant. Kinty meanwhile continues his blitzkrieg - he had a massive pawn chain to tank 6 - now pushed back a little.

Spoke too soon about Spotty - they are both moving simultaneously and I need a think.

I guess kinty might know this. How is White decided? It said something about randomness but is it weighted by rating points in any way? After my first game with kinty I have always been black. Can the players decide at all?
