Hello!
Quick question : Why does "Cal" rated 2500 lose so easily? -Not that I'm unhappy
with it giving in to a barrage of trades, I just don't think a human grandmaster
will lose like this in a million years (although I have never played one yet).
Otherwise, nice program and features and 3-d pieces.
