Whatever you do, please never do that. Stepping through a game with Game Courier borders on the unbearable. Even if you set the view from the First Player perspective, every next position you want to display causes the load of a new page, with a waiting time during which the screen blanks out, while afterwards the board and the button you are clicking appears in a different place, because the size of the ad in the header will have changed. This combination of prolonged flashing and the image jumping up and down makes any continuity with the previous position as good as impossible.

This place has become very difficult to access lately anyway; sometimes I have to wait up to a minute with a blank window before something gets displayed, after a page refresh. In the status bar of the browser I can see that it is then waiting for data from websites like ebay and such, probably for fetching ads.
