I have found that there is sometimes a snag/halt in the response to move. Strangely, it can be corrected by left clicking on the opponents pieces or your own Kings. In addition there are instances where Cake LV will throw a victory away for no reason in the endgame with seven or eight pieces on the board. I run your program on an AMD 1400 machine with 512 MB RAM under Win 2000Pro. It is much more stable than Windows 95. I really do think that should consider doing us a favor by continuing to improve your program and charging us for add-ons. When you get to someone who can install your freeware and make it work then you have fewer complaints. In addition,we are less likely to bitch about a lousy $60.00 US if there are problems. Give it a try. Let them eat Cake!-- or is it --Let Cake eat them?
