You can give either the game number +or the user whose game you want to observe. For example, if game #34 is +KARPOV versus RETI, then "observe 34", "observe RETI" or "observe KARPOV" will +add this game to your observation list. You can observe more than one game at +once. + + When you are observing a game, you will receive an updated board position +and game information each time a move is made. When a game you are observing +ends, you will be given the result of the game. + + Use the "unobserve" command to remove a game (or even all games) from your +observation list. + + Use "allobservers" to see who is observing a game (or all games) in +progress). + + +SPECIAL NOTES + +(a) At one point "observe" used alone would remove all games from your +observation list. This function is now being phased out in favor of the +"unobserve" command. But be careful while both commands are still valid. + +(b) It is possible to observe all simul games being played by the simul +player by the command "observe simul_player". All of the simul games in +progress will be added to your observation list. When the last simul game is +finished, you will be given the result of the simul exhibition. + + +See Also: allobservers games simuls unobserve + +[Last modified: October 8, 1995 -- Friar] + -- cgit v1.2.3
