Private Matches

Marking a match private prohibits watchers. Any players watching your match when you mark it private will be kicked out, and no new players may start watching until you unmark private. When enabled, your status in the Lobby window will appear as "Private match" instead of "Playing SomeGuy".

To mark or unmark your match Private, use the Play > Private Match menu command. You can also install an optional "Private" toolbar checkbox in your Board window if you expect to frequently mark matches private.

Marking matches private is reserved for GridGammon members; guests may not play private matches.

Note that every new match begins with Private match turned off.
