For example, if you are playing online on Daily Gammon, when you finish a game/match, you can click on the Export link. DG will print all the moves to the screen. In your web browser you then go to the File menu and choose the Save Page As... option. When saving to a file, add the .mat extension to the file name, for the standard match file format. Save it to your Desktop (or anywhere that you can find it again), and then go to GNU and Open the file that you just saved. Once you have the game file open in GNU, you can then run the analyzer as before, and review every move and see what a bone-head you were! Isn't that cool?

This week, Joel and I met up for live play at the UCI Marketplace shopping center. In the middle of the Center, there is an open Commons area with lots of tables and chairs. Most of the tables have umbrellas, but some don't, making them perfect for setting up a game. Our table was even right under a light, so as the sun set, we still had plenty of light to play. If you are hungry, there are plenty of places around to get a bite to eat or a cup of coffee. If you are looking for a venue to play outside on a warm evening, I highly recommend this spot!

Welcome to our new site! I mostly play on DailyGammon.com, a turn-based site with a twist. It "predicts" your opponent's next move, and then asks you what you would do next, often playing several "turns" at a time. For me, it is a nice compromise between single-turn sites and live-play sites. And they have lots of tournaments that you can join. If anyone wants to look for me there, my User ID is "Clay". Thanks for visiting us! >>>> Clay >>>> Hello Joel!

Sometimes I play at work at lunch time. I mostly play on msn.com. 5 point matches with random opponents of similar strength. I love the interface. I don't play on any turn-based sites. - Joel Hi Clay,

Live, I usually play my friend Sam at his house. Sometimes I play at work at lunch time.

I mostly play on msn.com. 5 point matches with random opponents of similar strength. I love the interface.

I don’t play on any turn-based sites.

- Joel
