AbigailII: I like that idea (and suggested values).
Always have Y as 250.
Pawns = X as 500 maybe
Bishops and above = X as 1000
So if someone does lose all their chips, they will at least be able to play on a table the next day. ***** Reminder for Fencer if he programs something like this - Don't let the bug slip by that if someone has all their chips on a table playing when the script runs, that it will give them free chips... otherwise someone will move their chips to an empty table, wait for the script to give them 250 free chips, then move their chips back off the table.
