Yes.I'm being evaluting it and other newer interfaces for online play in
preparation for the fics newsletter...

I like it.The interface is simple, easy to use. There is premove, piece sets are
replacable by true type fonts, customisable buttons, warning signals for lack of
time  etc..


But alternatives like Thief (tons of bitmap piece
sets,smartmove),Winboard,Cclient etc are also pretty good. It also depends on
your tastes.

But this is I think getting off-topic.
