From the spectators view I want to watch the games in the browser. I do not know
what Telnet/SSH or FICS and do not want to bother. I don't want to install
anything just type in the URL and watch. The funny thin is, this is quite simple
to achieve with a minimum of costs. One just has to decide to show the games
this way.
