Hello. I have downloaded Gnu chess for Windows 3.21 and I
am impressed! Hats off to all involved. Now my questions:

1. The board is too small, and my programming skills are
   too limited at this point to hack a new board.c using
   my weenie little system. Is there a patch or other way
   of getting a bigger, simpler flat board? No 3D needed.

2. Does the endgame, in your experienced opinions, remain
   more interesting at various levels than it does in the
   other bargain chess implementations (like Springer)? I
   have found the pawn race in Springer too simple at the
   easier levels compared to earlier play, and imagine it
   has to do with book-play v hash v human intuition. Why?
   More importantly, will this also affect Gnu Chess 3.21,
   or has anyone found a workable solution to the problem?
