I've run into something similiar several times, usually, I type the command "time" in the console and if the server is showing my clock running down I know it's my turn even if SCID is showing that I made my move. When this happens, I use the arrow keys in SCID to move back one move, and then I re

When playing an FICS game, at the end of the game, a popup window displays the result. However, the popup window does not display the correct names or game. Also, after a brief timeout from the server (15 seconds) the game continues but the PGN window loses the moves. I guess this is related to
