Regarding possible game courier bugs, I have noticed a couple of things...
I have also experienced the suddenly back-in-time that David describes,
although I have never had it go back more than one move, and I have also
discovered that I can completely prevent it from happening by always,
always, ALWAYS clicking ctrl-refresh to force a full page re-load before
entering any moves. I find that this is step is essential, or there's
the occasional deja-vu-move. I use IE 6.0 SP 2, and it is configured to
always reload all pages, so it's not IE configured to cache pages or the
like.
Also, in a game of Fisher Random Chess in which I was making the first
move of the game, I noticed that every time I would click 'Refresh,'
(which I always do, as described above) it would give me a different
random configuration. But then, when I actually made the move, (a pawn
move,) the pieces were suddenly in a different configuration (the original
configuration, I presume, although I'm not sure. I wasn't paying that
much attention.)
Hope this helps!
