Our Head-To-Head mode, which allows real-time game play, has been significantly extended. All games are now available in the (somewhat limited) HTH mode.

Games that supported it previously still support HTH as they did - there is no change there. All the other games support a limited HTH mode, which includes automated updates when your opponent makes a turn, but does not include instanteous moving - unlike "full" HTH, the page will still need to be reloaded each time you make a part of the move. Also, the Fast HTH mode is not available for these games.

The HTH game list now mirrors that in the New Game section, games that support HTH fully are marked with a silver token. The limited HTH mode should still offer enough functionality for a HTH game to be well possible and enjoyable.

The second enhancement to HTH are open invites! These allow you to enter the Head-To-Head mode, post an invite for a game that you are interested in, and wait. As soon as another player accepts the invite, you will be redirected to the game and can start playing.

Open HTH invites will be automatically canceled as soon as you leave the Head-To-Head mode - so if you go check your messages or something, you will need to put up a new invite after you return.

Open HTH invites are displayed on the gamesheet, in the right sidebar. This will make it easy for other players to know that someone is interested in a HTH game, without having to check the HTH screen all the time.

Enjoy!
