Another small win...
I had noticed, in playing "correspondence" chess over my BlackBerry, that opponents who stay mute for somewhere around 5 days or so forfeit their games, which makes sense, as some people would rather keep an opponent in thrall (to the extent that's possible when they're down a queen) rather than resign.
Lately, though, I had been noticing it's been harder and harder to get the software to behave. For the past few days, I have flat out been unable to get far enough through the procedure to actually get a move in.
Out of curiosity, I disabled the firewall on my phone (a constant nuisance) and zap! the connection to the game server went through with no hitch and I was able to make the next move in a game where I am the exchange and a pawn up.
So... just how necessary is it to run a firewall on a BlackBerry? Hmmm?
Cheers...
