Ring Chess

I like to play ring chess, but it's not an electronic game, yet.

I've been playing the arcade games. It surprises me how close to the original look / feel they are.

But I keep getting this same error when the game is over:

This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved.
Any ideas?

Yes, this is a bug in the code with large user ids that has been squashed, and should be working / saving now.

Hm... I noticed one thing about the Tetris game though. The way the pieces turn on pressing the up arrow key is opposite to the way they flip in the normal version (at least the one I've played). And I've really played this game . I and my brother used to have score wars (we went all the way up to 62000+ as far as I remember).

This turning in the opposite direction is totally messing up my calculations... though of course its just a matter of time (which ATM is in short supply).
