Jan-23-24  stone free or die: How is it that <Nepo>'s photo is different here than on his bio page?
Jan-23-24  stone free or die: Also, when <CG> switches games I assume the comment stream is begun anew.

In that case it would be nice to have a link to the previously selected live game - maybe in the first comment?
