One of the conditions I insist on before I will play a Friendly game with anybody is that all players agree that the game will NOT be posted to OSN. Did you even stop to consider that people may be testing out opening lines for league games they are currently playing? Is there a way I can have all my Friendly games you posted to OSN purged? Is there a way I can opt-out of having my Friendly games automatically posted to OSN in the future?

I think this is a valid concern for some people, although I personally don't think it's a big deal.

There are some things you can do if you are really concerned about this.

1. You can do pass and play games instead of friendlies
2. You can create an alternate GCID for your super secret strategy development

Hey Cor13:4--Love your sig.

The Friendly game has been a very convenient way to prepare for important games like placement games (you lose one of those, kiss any promotion dreams you had goodbye). Unfortunately, I don't see any of your suggestions saving it.

1. Pass and play--can't do that with your partner several miles away.
2. Alternate GCID--slightly better, but ultimately not airtight. If you can sort by board, by recent games, you can probably find signs of people trying to test out strategies, and then check whether the moves they're making match your game. Or just start poking around in recent games on that board for ideas and you could stumble across your very game. Point is, you might be able to ameliorate the problem but you can't solve it.

LOL ok if anyone is doing this against me they deserve the win anyway. They clearly want it more than I do.
