ICC Help: whisper

Command:  whisper
Example:  whisper That was a good move!

Send the text to all the people observing a game but NOT the players of that game. The game used is the primary game you're observing, or else the game you're playing.

Observers with "kibitz" variable off (see help vars) will not receive the message, neither will players censoring you. You can use whisper if you are registered and are observing a game, or if you are playing a game. If you want to comment on a game, you should use "kibitz" or "whisper" instead of "shout". Upon completion, whisper will print the number of people who received your message.

If you are observing more than one game, use the "primary" command to choose which game your whispers will go to. Or you can use the "whisperto" command. For example, "whisperto 136 Good move." sends your comment to game 136.
