"force Ne7" says "undo the last move you made and play this move instead". If it has already moved, that has already been sent to the server. The force will simply make you lose on time later, because Crafty will have changed to your move, while the server was notified of the original move. There is _no way_ to make crafty play any move other than the move it likes best, unless you run it manually in a different window and make the moves yourself. >In any case it caused crafty to loss on time for some >reason.
