Hi Steve,

I tried it again. Alas, the SB30 doesn't recognize the SB20-pieces at all. The
other way round it works, sort of: For the SB20 all SB30-pieces are rooks. Minor
pieces (pawns, knight, bishops) are black rooks, the rest are all white rooks.
You can imagine my confusion when I put in a new position starting with a black
rook and the R30 showing a white one... *lol*

Rook Regards,
Martin
