Well the problem is that CP is sending the move somehow _exactly_ when it is
receiving the move. And by exactly, I mean in the same ms... that is pretty damn
fast for a reply.

If this problem happened in _all_ interfaes, then I would say the problem is ICC
itself. CP is the _only_ interface with this problem. Arena, Winboard, and Chess
Assistant don't seem to have this problem.

I am not using a "fast" computer by today's standards. I am using a PIV 2.0Ghz.
Surely the CPU speed is not the problem here. Then again I am not in it for the
rating points. I like watching the games, conversing with opponents, and
modifying books. Just today I was having games with a 1300 rated player just so
he can try some openings... it was fun to watch.

Even with a "slow" computer compared to the monsters on ICC, I don't limit my
forumla to much. I don't have !computer, and I play anything rated within 1200
points rated, anything else can play unrated, and for as long as they want.

I would love to get this "problem" fixed.
