I would just like to comment that this is >the best I have ever seen. I hope whoever was looking for it finds this. I think you liked this board because on first view it looks very complete and beautiful. However, take 1 more second and try to figure out what is happening...... Impossible!!!!! Look at the pawns! There is no way to easily read what is happening. So far, the easiest for me to use is one like this: r - b q k b n r p p p - - p p p - - n - p - - - - - - p - - - - - - - - p - - - - - - p - - - - James p p p n - p p p r - b q k b n r Still incredibly difficult to follow.
