Hello Dann,

some things seem to be missing in his GUI:

a) promotion does not work
b) board editing is missing
c) move list does not scroll

Nevertheless it is a fine approach, where I see relations to
my FullChess proposal: one engine for 8x8 traditional or 10x8
Capablanca piece set and board, optional Fischer castlings,
optional randomizing of the start array (with some conditions).

It would be interesting to know, what he may think on Gothic Chess.

Regards, Reinhard.
