Hellemons (chair), H.J. van den Herik, H.M.J. den Hoed, W. Kastner (local organisation committee), P.A.M. van der Krogt, E.C.D. van der Werf and M.H.M. Winands.

I've added a javascript-based history browser which allows you to view any game step by step. This is very useful to get the idea of games you do not participate in or to recall the last moves in one of your games if you haven't moved for some time. <br>In addition, it is possible to display a game as plain PGN which can then be saved as .pgn file. This gives you the opportunity to analyse a game with your favorite chess tool, for instance with Fritz. </ul> | Online Chess Club 1.0.6 | updated | Online Chess Club |
