I like the ability to paste positions and games directly from clipboard. An
interesting position posted here can be examined immidiately. Furthermore, the
GUI is easier to use. Try comparing the various configuration possibilities
under options, ie. Board and General options. The design is better and more
compact. Some will find the configuration of ICS sounds and the blindfold mode
useful. It's a polished and well-designed product IMHO.

Best wishes...
