All of these are new and interesting but not in the demo: simuls, the Current Situation Report Window, Memo Window, the majority of Josh Waitzkin's Academy, Larry Christiansen's Attacking Chess course, online real-time tutorials (the biggest new thing, IMO), creating a new personality, importing a winboard engine, the extent of the personalities included in the game, etc. I also just tried to play online, with a person persistently challenging me, and we could never get the game started. I could chat with no difficulties (including private chatting) and no apparent lag. Online LOOKS pretty seamless and very easy to use, but it also looks like there are several kinks that are going to need to be worked out. I would assume, that since I was able to connect cleanly I have no network/firewall issues that could muck up the works. jm
