From the "help disconnect" file: -- If you get disconnected but are able to reconnect and log in quickly, in some cases you will "reattach" and be able to continue your game as if nothing happened. -- So, if I disconnect/reconnect quickly, and it's the opponent's move, the system might send the next move without telling me I am in a game (at least in the way I expect it). Or, if it is my move, and I "reattach", then I might time out. I also don't use winboard, but I wonder if winboard would handle this correctly. Will
