I think it would be a simple feature to implement in most games.  The 
syntax is as follows:

<game> replay <game-no> <turn-no> <player-1> <player-2> [<player-3>]

The replay command functions like the challenge command in that it creates 
a new game.  Unlike challenge, the new game begins with the game position 
of the designated previous game.  Example:

twixt replay 123 13 bob mary

This starts a new TwixT game between Bob and Mary.  It is now turn 14, and 
the first 13 turns were exactly the same as game 123.  I guess replay games 
would have to be unrated.
