There isn't enough color. The clock display could be better. The board can't be stretched to full screen (I really need this, although I haven't tried all video modes.) I think that the board should be a little wider, like most programs (blitzn is the best example. The look of the board is perfect. I also think that the "cool" board on Fritz 5 is perfect.) I have gotten out a ruler and measured the board on Blitzn and compared it with Winboard. Both Blitnz and Fritz have wider boards. The graphics mode I use is 800x600. If someone has gotten better results with other modes please let me know. Best wishes, john coffey
