In fact, legality checking should be forced when there isn't a server between nodes to check for valid moves, this is something I should change on the source. I'll reply to the other two emails on the next few days. For tournaments, peer-to-peer is problematic since there isn't a "judge" server in the middle to decide if anyone is cheating on time, making invalid moves, etc. For small tourneys, a free chess server software would be the best solution. -- Felipe |
