So, in an actual tournament game, you expect your opponent to give you his evaluation of a position? :-) >4) I wish CM9 had a "board sound" for move announcement, instead of that >infernal "error ding" of windows.

Try "Thematic Sounds". Depending on which piece set you are using (e.g. Staunton), you might get a nice simple piece movement sound. >7) Depending on which board you select, you may not be able to see the arrows >pointing to the most recent CM9 move, as well as I'd like. Black's arrow, on a >darker board, is somewhat camo'd. Fritz7's arrow is gaudy yellow, but always >very clearly visible. This was a very tough decision, because there are NO colors (other than ones like "gaudy yellow") that are visible and yet not....gaudy. We MIGHT make a small change to it in a patch if enough people comment on it. >After viewing the credits, I see our guy John Merlino wears a lot of hats for >the CM9 product. We just gotta get him to insist on CM getting auto232/DGT board >support! Try going here, www.tim-mann.org/extensions.html. Apparently there is a driver for the DGT board to make it act like a winboard engine. I am pretty sure that I've heard from a few people that it works fine in CM. Additionally, as Sarah suggested, winboard232 also appears to work well. jm
