Re: [Bug-gnubg] Handling ambiguous checker moves

[Jonathan Kinsey]

I just explicitly enter ambiguous moves, either by dragging twice or using the
left/right mouse buttons. I can't see any problem with gnubg interpreting an
ambiguous drag as a pick-n-pass as that's generally the most likely move in
these cases.

All in my opinion of course,
