My preference for kibbing on third-party games would be to use + for white, and
- for black.  That is how both crafty and amateur do it now.  When you have a
program commenting on a game in which it is not participating, then it makes no
sense to switch its orientation depending on the side to move.  *That* would be
confusing.

So, I suggest for ch 211, please kib in white/black orientation.
