Thanks Andy and Don,
You must be getting very fed up with me banging on about this. I promise to shut up and go away very shortly. My intention here is not to anger or upset anyone.

I know about unsecure play. The drawback with that is that there is nothing at all to stop my opponent or me from accidentally, and I do mean accidentally, opening up the others turn and seeing the lay of the land.

My main point is in the last line of my previous post

Please let ME be the one that decides if the game should continue

I just dont understand why it is essential that the game halts if cheating, or behaviour that looks like cheating, is recognised.

Surely its enough to be alerted to the fact and then make your own mind up about continuation?

Its a suggestion, born out of the frustration of having seen three out of three pbem games go west, one just one turn in, not too bad. One about six turns in, mildly annoying and one about two turns from the end...infuriating.
