If you are not playing a game, the message will be sent to observers of the 'primary' game in your observation queue. (For details on the primary queue, read "help primary".) Note that the message is to the observers of a game but NOT to the players. For this reason, using whisper (rather than kibitz) is a more polite way of discussing a game with other observers without having your message heard by the two players. (Only users with a 'kiblevel' variable setting might not receive your message.) You must be observing or playing a game in order to use this command. The standard alias for "whisper" is '#'.
