Guestimate would be very little if you're playing with an application or
in a web browser running a java/flash script. The amount of information
necessary to communincate a move would be extremely small. If it's web
based where the page is generated with each move then it would be more.
If your running windows, open the properties of you internet
connection. Just check it, play for an hour (without surfing the web or
checking email) and check it again. Also you internet provider may
report your usage.
