Ah, you found it. The pieces in the diagram are the "Oldstyle" font which is
very close to the ones used in the Dover books at the beginning of the century.
Since I grew up with these books (not at the beginning of the century) I always
have them on. There are other fonts, like Fritz and USCF (Chess Life style).

Like taken out a lot of useful functions to make place for cosmetics? I don't
think so. Keep checking out chessbase.com for new infos (cb801-cb804 so far
published). The next installments is on searching across many databases,
directories, hard disks and the Internet.
