"Computer thinking" message

Hi,

I am very new to this site, so forgive me if this has been answered, though I could not find any postings on it.  When I am playing the computer, if I am in a strong position the computer says "Computer Thinking" but will not move.  Is this a bug, or is there a trick to making the compter move?

Thanks!

there is occasionally a bug in him that we're working on. if he ever takes more than 20 seconds, you should consider it the computer's resignation and start a new game. ;)

thanks for being patient!

Yes, that is the computer I was referring to.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, good luck on fixing the bug.
