Yesterday, I had a qualified I T, arrive and try to revive the above program, so called copied in total from an old computer, and placed in another.
His findings,
The first download from thatgame was the install of the program onto a pooter, before play could begin-
then the first chess move,which always had to go via Thatgame server, prior to going to another player, but from then on went pooter to pooter without the need for the server.
However the files which were sent onto me to install in my upgraded pooter, were NOT the install files, which apparently cannot be copied/forwarded

End result: thatgame chess is history and the fallover of thatgame server means the game is fatally compromised
Thanks to all who tried to help

Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e
rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the
bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
