Just to be sure these great features are not removed too quickly, I prefer to 
repeat that KsirK uses KGameIO* AND KGame/KPlayer AND KGameProperties. Well, 
a great part of libkdegames/kgame :-)
But as I already stated, I agree that some things should be reworked in 
libkdegames. I have to look more precisely to all that, but  I think for 
example at the turn handling algorithm, that is not adapted to KsirK, where, 
even if turn-based, the turns are more complex than the binary relation in 
libkdegames.

I don't currently use KStdGameAction, Highscores nor KChat in KsirK :-)
