I love the large clocks in xboard-3.0pl9.. But the pulldown menus are a hassle. It takes too long to step forward several moves. Also, I dislike having to click on the "ok" button when I attempt an illegal move, etc. Other suggestions: 1) Make it possible to force gnuchess to move (from xboard.) If I try to stop it with "Force Move" I get the popup box "Wait until your turn." 2) Show the current depth, intended move, and evalution, just like in commercial programs (from xboard.) 3) Allow a "correspondence" mode, in which gnuchess continues thinking until you hit a certain key. Gnuchess seems unable to mate itself with BR vs B (opp color bishops.) It keeps moving its rook off the seventh.
