Is it a game where you listen to someone drone on and on and the lfirst person to shoot the "droner" is eliminated?

Ahh, so that explains a few of the threads in the forums?

The site initially allowed you to play an unrated game against a computer opponent. (I think this was the 'Rival' program that was written by Chris and Russ before the RHP site went online.)

Anyway, we could play against an engine if we wanted to. I don't remember that it was called a drone game, but maybe that is what you are referring to.

Hope that helps,
Marc

I love that castling and en passant were enabled. Who knew that doing so would spawn so many threads about *cheating* opponents!

Or this thread:

I'm in mate , but RHP doesn't know it. There is a bug! I know it's mate!

PLX HEPL!

From there, everyone has to assure the user they are in fact not mated, without helping them in the game by telling them about en passant.
