Just a suggestion, when Bringer recives the Fritz command, don't update
Bringer's gui board move by move or some such.  Maybe just update the board once
bringer gets the no post command (or is it the post command.)

As to Bringer's time's being the same as Fritz, it seems that Bringer will
always think it has more time towards the end of the game as Bringer doesn't
allow for the time it takes to replay the moves on its own Gui and falls behind.
