Sends message to the observation list of game #. # may be omitted if you are observing only one game or are playing. The message is limited to 184 characters. (Usually, telnet will allow you to type in 255.) Players do not see kibitzes.
There is a short hand kibitz: a single quote, ``'''. The game number is only necessary if you are observing more than one game. When one uses the short hand one needs the space after the single quote.
Example:
#> ' W dead.
^----------------NOTE: a space after "'".
produces:
Kibitz observer [rk]: Game white vs black [#]
W dead.
