The Show routine in the server calls a Scan routine to find matching
boards. It attempts to read a board matching its argument and if that
fails it assumes that the argument is a player name. It does not
validate the player name as they may have left the server. The games 
list is then scanned for games including this non-existant player.
As no errors are detected, no messages are returned.
The Show routine needs changing after calling the Scan routine
to see if success.Count + failure.Count == 0 and to report "No
matching games found"
