Thad: You are correct. Fencer will implement what he wants to implement. Two years ago I gave up my paid membership and promised to renew it when there was a decent autopass facility. Despite a lot of great suggestions (at the time) as to how this should be done, there has been absolutely no action And I have saved 2 years subscription!!

pgt: Absolutely no action? How do you explain that we do use autopass in our game then? Without any action taken by Fencer?

Pedro Martínez: ah, but no way to handle with the cube. A player should be able to choose in the game to sutopass in the current situation despite having the ability to double.
Unfortunately this oversight means autopass isn't working 90% of the time when it should.

pgt: I would just like to know how was it possible for me to make 10 consecutive moves in this game, when ABSOLUTELY NO ACTION has been taken in terms of autopass in the last two years.

Pedro Martínez: It was implemented incompletely. Since then no action has been taken to make it work properly.

Pedro Martínez: It was because that was the Crawford round, when no doubling was allowed!

Pedro Martínez: If it had NOT been the Crawford round, it would have been (theoretically) possible for me to double on any move, and we would have had to play out the moves, tediously, one by one, over perhaps 10 days. Get it?

pgt: OK, it must be my bad memory. I thought there had been no autpass on BK two years ago at all and I would have had to wait for you to make your moves even in case of a Crawford Round. My bad. Sorry.

grenv: And not only that, autopass only works if your opponent doesn't insist you mindlessly push buttons.
