Usage: chatter [game number] message
Sends a 'chatter' message to the people observing game [#]. Chatter
will be seen only by the people with their 'chatter' option enabled (see
'help toggle'). The game number may be omitted if you are observing
only one game, or if you are playing. The 'chatter' is limited to 184
characters. The _players_ do not see the chatter.
Example: #> chatter Black is dead.
A command related to 'chatter' is 'kibitz', see: help kibitz
Messages entered with 'kibitz' ARE recorded in the game record, but
messages entered with 'chatter' ARE NOT recorded in the game record.
'chatter' can be shortened to: '
When one uses the abbreviation, one needs the space after
the single quote. (') For example:
#> ' Black is dead.
^----------------NOTE: a space after '
During the game, the chatter will look like:
Kibitz observer [rk]: Game white vs black [#]
Black is dead.
To disable incoming 'chatter' messages, see: help toggle
