The game quoted in that article cannot be cut-and-pasted into Winboard
because it uses a non-ASCII character (an en-dash) in the notation for
castling. I strongly recommend that you replace `O&endash;O' in the
HTML source with `O-O' to make the article much more useful.

Also, the link `Read more (3702 bytes more) at the bottom of the page
doesn't work -- it just points back to the same page. But why split
the article in two anyway? It's a web page, not a magazine, so
there's no fixed page size and no reason to make your readers `turn
the page' in the middle of an article.

Dave.
