Never mind being good or bad, it would be helpful if they were visible!

On my T675 I see two copies of the board, occupying the top third of the screen
in toto. The rest of the screen is white, and blank.

On inspection I see that the .PRC file date is 2 July 2002. It would be
interesting to know why the program was not released until almost four months
after it was finished* when it evidently was not tested with a number of
machines which appeared in the interim (several new Clies and the new Palms
...).

This sort of thing will give the Chessmaster "franchise" a bad name :(

perverse thing to do ...
