What I understand from Fergus, playing on the CV pages involves polling
html pages until you see a change, and then uploading your own move over a

That is wrong. A player views a board in his web browser, enters a move in a form, then submits the form. Game Courier then displays the move or tells the player that the move is illegal. If the move is not found illegal (either because it is not or because the preset doesn't enforce rules), the player then clicks a form button to verify that this was his intended move. The player can find out when it is his move again in one of three ways: (1) Get an email, (2) check the logs page, or (3) let the Game Courier page reload at intervals (by means of Javascript) until it is his move again.
