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? -- btaplin@silver.ucs.indiana.edu or simply btaplin@ucs.indiana.edu will appreciate your intelligent suggestions, anecdotes, comments & offers.
