Christophe,

you just might be able to indulge them in all these. However, I am positive that
you could not offer the Fischer Random Chess option even with a gun pointed at
your head :-)  Although this gimmick with photos of players sounds very nice...

PS.:  Chess Tiger 15.1 on my Sony Clie (Motorola 68k) is leading against me in a
long match (game in 2')(39-27 for CT)!  It is so much fun.  On the other hand I
am leading against Chess Genius (current score 53-40 for me, same time
controls).
