i like it because it doesnt point out where you or your opponent moved

I have IE6 and Firefox and the animation is weird in both, pieces not moving to the middle of the square, captured pieces remaining on the board. Maybe my old computer isn't fast enough?

Loving the 'flip board' feature already 🙂

I thought I better stop giving everyone the same old line about ‘please be patient, things are coming, etc’...and show some of the work in progress. I was nearly finished with this work over a month ago, but I have been sidetracked by some work outside the site.

Anyway, rather than wait any longer before making it available, I have packaged one of the more ...[text shortened]... re you have it. I better scurry back to the work I am meant to be doing at the moment…

I guess I am being very stupid, but where did I go wrong?

Can't stand boards with pawn shadow--too distracting. the flame board, I mean, who could stand it for more than a few seconds. the pieces i prefer look like the ones already on rhp. there's one dumpy set that looks like russian architecture on steroids. don't know if i could stand that. the main thing im interested in is size of the board and plain newsprint like pieces.

Works well on Maxthon (formerly MyIE2). Look good...don't really care for some of the sets and boards, however.

The sets and boards were just random images put together by me to test this stuff, so, don't be too concerned about that.

All existing boards and sets will be in final new code, so the look of it should be indistinguishable from what you have now.

it looks GREAT! two questions:

edit: whoops, sorry i see the first question has been answered already in the affirmative - YEY!

are we going to be able to step back not only through the moves that have been played but also through any 'extra' moves we add at the end by way of analysis? at the moment clicking 'back' sends us back to the last PLAYED position minus one move.

also, shouldn't the STOP button be a PAUSE button instead? i just expect things to go back to the beginning now when i stop them (as with CDs). i'm sure i'd get used to it though 😉
