OCR: Real Time Prochess The RealTime option allows a player on line 1 of the bbs to play an online chess game against another player on line 2. There is no limitation to the number of bbs lines: A player on line 17 may play someone on line 66. On top of the screen all running RealTime games are listed with their number and status. The status indicates whether a game needs a second player ('Joe Sysop is waiting for second player' ), is being played ('Game in progress') or has been finished ('Game over'). You may enter a game which is waiting for a second player by entering the game number. Joining games in progress is only allowed if you are already involved in that game. Playing several games simultaneously is possible. The other menu options are: (N)ew - Start new game with white pieces. Other players will see the new game in their RealTime game list and may enter at any time. The second player has always the black pieces. (0) 1d - If you have been playing a 'normal' (Non-Real Time) game for some time and you know that your opponent is online on another line of the bbs, you may turn the game into a RealTime game using the O)ld option. Of course you should inform your partner by sending him an online message inside the bbs. (Quit Quit the RealTime menu and return to the ProChess main menu.
