You must be observing or playing a game in +order to use this command. The standard alias for kibitz is "*". + + In order to listen to kibitzes, you must have your kibitz variable on ("set +kibitz 1"). If you want to listen to kibitzes only from players of a given +chess ability or higher, use the kiblevel variable. + + When a kibitz is displayed, the kibitzer's rating will be shown (the higher +of blitz and standard will be used). However, (a) if the kibitzer has a chess +master title (GM, IM, FM, NM), this title will be displayed instead of the +rating; (b) if the kibitzer is an admin on duty, a '*' will be displayed. + + +SPECIAL NOTES: + +(a) It is considered bad manners to discuss the game with other observers by +using kibitz because doing so might assist the players. Instead, use +"whisper" in order to discuss a game you and others are observing without +interfering with the play of the game. + +(b) If you are observing more than one game at once, using kibitz can be +tricky. It is possible for the kibitzed message to be sent to another game, +if the game being observed changes suddenly. + +See Also: intro_talking kiblevel observe set variable whisper + +[Last modified: October 8, 1995 -- Friar] + -- cgit v1.2.3
