Sorry, I don't like the sound of that.
With my 1024x768 screen, the Only board big enough for playing a game on is the
Custom Board (ugly though it is).

The standard 2d boards are fine (and beautiful) when I want all sorts of
analysis & information windows open.  But for simply playing a game, I want the
board as big as the height of my screen.

So unless the standard boards in CM9k are provided in a much larger size than
present, I will find the lack of the Custom Board a MAJOR disadvantage.  I don't
want to go to Winboard as I want to use the "random opponent" feature.

I guess the way around this will be to create a seperate user name, with a setup
for 640x480 screen resolution.  Now if anybody can tell me how to stop Hiarcs732
from crashing when I change screen resolution....

Hmm,
Tina Long
