  1. Last time, there were some issues in viewing this properly on a Mac. I shall check it if it works on one later in the evening. It works on my machine with both firefox (it should install the java plugin automatically if its not there) and IE.

    But please do let me know in here, if anybody is not able to view it along with which browser and computer you are using. Thanks

  3. Thanks Tom. But you should be able to already play through these variations as well as I remember entering them before posting the pgn.

  4. Hi Harish - doesn't work on iPad 64 GB, 3G/wifi even though Java games on USCF site do work. Not working on my Dell XPS M1710, Windows XP,IE7 but does work running Safari on same machine. Strange!

  5. OK Yes I see that now Harish. On move 8 of course black does not have to play Bg7 but I think white is still better after NxN 9.pxN
