They need to be written to the game file.
I would probably use a ReadWriteIntList

class chosen:public ReadWriteIntList {
protected:
 const char *Name(void) { return "chosen"; };
};

Then in Init use

    chosen.Init(2);

in ReadBoard

 return board.Read(game) || chosen.Read(game);

and in WriteBoard

 return board.Write(game) * chosen.Write(game);

then you can refer to them as chosen[0] and chosen[1]
