TCP/IP communication can be viewed as round-trip. UCP is one-way, TCP requires a response for each packet.

Yes, the server sends out the move and starts your clock immediately. You need 1 ping time to see the move and start calculating. After you move, there's an additional ping time to get the move to CGOS. Ping times are round trip. I believe it should be 1/2 ping time to see the move and start calculating, and an additional 1/2 ping time to get the move to CGOS. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
