I'm sure he'll tell you the same,but don't be upset by Eugene's post above.Eugene,Brian & I talk a lot of trash back & forth in jest.That's all that looks to be.Not actual negative comments directed at anyone.He's always come across to me as a nice fella,just with a sense of humor.

Hello & welcome to Net-Chess.To the right of the game board,just below the comments box should be a small rectangular button that says move.Click the piece you want to move,the square you want it moved to,& then the move button.Hope this helps & have fun! :D
