I personally may not want to play chess with most of them, but they still are a marvel, especially for a program that plays so strong and has so many (many, many!) other features and sells for only $40 or less. I will probably use 2D sets almost exclusively, but that's just because I've gotten used to that over the years. Most thousands non-hardcore chess people (and maybe some pros too) will LOVE the 3D pieces. You and your team ought to be mighty proud of the great work you've done. I hope newspapers and TV news shows worldwide feature the program -- I think it would make an enjoyable story even non-chessplaying adults and children and could bring people into the chess fold.
