Ron, The player who moves first needs to send his copy of the .gam file along with the .gmv move file on the first turn. Then load the game, and then the .gmv move file. Here's a step-by-step How-To excerpt from my "Email Cyberboard Tutorial": B. PLAYING A GAME 1. You receive your opponents moves via a .gmv file, save the file from the email into an appropriate folder for you and your opponent. 2. Open Cyberboard Player, then 'File ==> Open ==> Last_GameFile_You_Saved.gam (or whatever it's called), or open the .gam file your opponent sent you if this is the set-up turn or first turn. 3a. Then 'File ==> Load recorded move file ...' and select your opponents .gmv file just received (or your most recent .gmv move file, if you need to review your moves). You _may_ get a message: 'Game-state in GMV is different from current .GAM open [or something like that] with the option of selecting the game-state of the Recorded Move Game-State, or the current .gam state --- choose the Recorded Move .gmv game state. 3b. Then select 'Playback' and use F3 key to 'step through' your opponents moves. Note any errors, then 'Playback ==> Accept Move File Playback ...', then fill in the dialog box and click 'OK' and you'll get some message saying 'Moves accepted into game history' or something like that. Hope that helps, Bill
