I have found this script helpful in sending off game moves.
When a move comes in, I use a mail command to append the message
to the end of the apprpriate "./chess/<whoever>" file for that game.
Then I edit the end of the file, add my next move, exit the
editor and enter "send <whoever>"  This script ("send") mails
the move to the opponent and records that fact in a "log" file.

Does anybody else have some ideas along these lines?  Please post.

# Send and log game moves.  Game moves may be sent in one of two ways:
#   If no arguments:  All game[0-9]* files are checked.  Any which
#     have a lone "." on the last line of the game[0-9]* file will
#     be sent.  The last line of each such file will be deleted.
#   With arguments:  All filenames passed as arguments will be sent.
#     No changes will be made to the files.
# In either case, it is assumed that the first line of the file
#   is the destination path for 'mail' and that .. is your home dir.
