Hi Sir,

Does "A player may see at any point the spaces owned by him drawn as a
full square" mean that the player will see a board 100x40 made up of
unconquered and conquered space?

And if player A has conquered a space (40,40 for example) earlier in
the game which he is now no longer adjacent to and this space is
taken(conquered) by another player B, then player A's board space
(40,40) would be shown as an unconquered space(since player A is not
adjacent to 40,40 at the moment)?

Thanks,
Waylon.

Yes, he will always be able to see his own squares, and he will see all those he has not conquered as unconquered (regardless if someone else has conquered them; with the exception if  the player is adjacent to the squares, in which case he will have full visibility).

Agreed, in fact a player can sniff someone is close to some area when he sees his boxes disappearing. All part of the strategy :)

Hope that helps

Sure understood, one last question.

Should the disappearance of the boxes be live on the opponent's
screen, ie. resend map & refresh the screen immediately, or it could
be shown after the next move is completed by the player?

Thanks,
Waylon.
