So my two questions:
1) how do a save a position?
2) how do I clear the conversation, so it's a fresh board for Aurelian and me?
You 'save a position' by pressing the 'Play Move' button. This only works if you are in a game, though. So you first have to start a game, or recall a previously started game (that is still in progress). Once a game is loaded, and you are on move in it, you can move one or more pieces, and when you are happy with it, press 'Play Move' to submit all the moves you added to the game to the server, as a single turn. In Refusal Chess you should only move a single piece, undoing the opponent's last move if you want to refuse it.
The conversation is only there because I used that page also as a demo for broadcasting comp-comp games, to offer the people watching them to discuss about the game. I agree that it is less applicable when the page is used for depositing their own games, and there is no concept of 'the current game'. But you can just ignore the chat; it is not part of your game, just a general medium for all users of the page to coverse with each other. And as for the time being you would be the only users (I have no plan for broadcastig anything), you could use it as an open (volatile) communication channel.
BTW, when I press 'List Players', I don't see your name. So if you tried to register yourself, you did not succeed.
