Please find the update on ElectroTank Multiplayer Chess and ibProArcade here:

... and our conclusion here:

To follow-up, the issues Teresa and I encountered in our debugging teamwork were primarily two-fold:

(1) Adobe Flash security is complex for flash games using socket connections, making the actual implemention challenging.

(2) The version of Chess.swf available on the public web sites is not compatible with ES4, and may not be compatible with the last available release of ES3.

Right now we are "in a holding pattern" as I don't have time to install the publicly available version of ES3 and check compatibility with our version Chess.swf downloaded from pnflashgames.com. We are not confident that this verson of ES3 will work with the legacy Chess.swf file.

Then, we would have to cross the hurdle of getting a working config up and running with Adobe Flash security, not very easy across the Internet (much easier when all is on your hard drive).

I would like to that Teresa for such great support, which includes all the kind people at ElectroTank who supported Teresa. Obviously, the ElectroTank team is often constrained by Adobe Flash security issues, which is out-of-scope of the actual server, ES4 (or ES3).

Thanks again for all the great help!
