Subject: From a revolting peasant

Author: Alastair Allan

Let's revolt against the lack of bells and whistles on our chess programs.
What chess program designers surely need, well before Christmas, is a
"bells and whistles upgrade checklist". Three suggestions:

- selectable male/female voice for scornfully refusing draw offers,
announcing checkmate, etc. (One ding-dong to CSTal 11, who got this half
right.)
- facility to select colour combinations that assist red-green colour blind
players (No ding-dong to Fritz with his blah database game "medals".)
- shiny panic stampede-out-of-the-game exit button (One ding-dong to Rebel9,
but it's not shiny, Mr Schroder, it's not shiny.)
