Just tried it out.  Folks, this is a VERY impressive piece of software.  It is
LOADED with features and is well-designed as well.

The GUI may be the single most impressive in the history of freeware chess
software on the PC.

And click-drag to move pieces works great.  I knew Martin would succeed!

Kudos!
