"Just the one Berlin in Anand-Topalov which was met with the move of the queen's pawn to the third rank... "

For consistency's sake the neologism "Berlin" should be changed to "Ruy Lopez' Knight's Game".

If you're going to ban everyone else transmitting the moves, at least make sure you can do it first.

Aha, now 2 of the boards are updating, but only if you go into them individually. The other 2 have no moves and neither do the 4 summary boards

You can click a board and go back and forth although even that isn't obvious.
