Write a rogue engine that sends the overrun to any opponent named >"movei*" no chess server that I have used has the option for one player to send an arbitrary string of character to the oponent and pretend that it is a chessboard.

Now a chess server coder could possibly add such an attack, assuming that your interface program didn't do any sanity checking, but that is taking paranoia pretty far. Angrim
