Re: [pbmserv] Trax: Large board presentation?

[Lyman Hurd <lhurd@yahoo.com>]

Check out:

http://www.traxgame.com/shop_download.php

With Trax 5.0 you can cut and paste the move summary and see the board graphically.  It also lets you make moves and places forced tiles automatically.  And it is free (only the AI opponent costs money).

Cheers,

Lyman

Aha: Prompted by that message of Lyman's, I explored and found
http://www.traxgame.com/games_pbem.php
I feel so out of the loop that I only learned about it now. :)

(Does anyone else find that page sometimes apparently causing Firefox
to crash? I don't know why, but a half dozen times now it has crashed
when I open a game to look at it via
http://www.traxgame.com/games_pbem.php ...)

And thanks Stig for finding the pbmserv command for the larger size text board.

Any chance of gamerz.net adding a graphical Trax view like it has for
Go and some others?

cheers,
Russ
