Re: Broadcast from andidi via PBM Server

["Frans Smit" <frans@icon.co.za>]

The move was accepted by the server. I sent the show command and could not
see what cards I had.To get the game going and hoping that I then would get
an error and then see what had I had I sent in any move. It was not an
intentional cheat.

Yes, I thought it might add flavour to the game if one could pull a "fast

allow. So, the next version of Hearts will allow for legal moves only.
