At last - a highly configurable GUI which looks good even on XP (I love the 2D piece and board rendering, which a lot of commercial packages should simply steal :) and lacks clutter! This could ultimately give Arena and scid more than a run for their money, although there are some things that can't yet be done from the GUI, the most obvious being that adding a new chess engine involves editing an XML file unless I'm missing something. I've come across one bug; switching between 2D and 3D causes the application to lock up, with the move half-made on the 3D board, if the chess engine makes a move in the middle of the switch. (Only with the first switch, which is much slower than any subsequent ones). Alastair
