You'll notice your time clock begins to move. Optionally, you may want to set a time limit of one hour or two or even half an hour. It's up to you. If you do set a time limit; The person who is ahead, by point score of pieces captured, wins. 5.

This will save your move, PREVENT YOU FROM TAKING IT BACK, AND TRANSMIT IT TO YOUR OPPONENT. 6. You want to be very certain of your move before you choose 'Commit Move' because at this point, you cannot take back a move. Up to this point you can take back as many moves as you like. Commit Move saves the move so that it can be transmitted to the opponent over the phone line or the Network. 7. That's it.
