<p>Thanks for the feedback! Regarding your requests: <blockquote>Would be nice if settings made in 'Options / Board and Pieces...' would be kept between program starts.</blockquote> Actually, it should do that already. Be aware that those settings are game-by-game; in other words, if you change settings in one game or variant it should be saved, but only for that variant. There is currently no way to change these settings for all games. If your settings are not even being stored for a specific game then I will need to look into that; if this is the case, please let me know what OS you are running. <blockquote>I use 800x600 screen resolution and games with 10x10 board, e.g. Grand Chess doesn't fit on my screen. Would be nice if the board is scaled automatically when window size changes, like in Arena.</blockquote> Yes, this is a problem. I have a partial solution underway that will be available in the next release. I am creating a 'small' piece set for use with larger games and/or smaller monitors. These new icons I am creating are derived from the Alfaerie set, but not by reduction - that leads to blurry or poor-looking images; I am tweaking these pixel-by-pixel. As for zooming the board, since the pieces are bitmaps, any scaling would probably look rather bad. <blockquote>Pieces are flashing when you make a move. This can be fixed e.g. by using double-buffering technique.</blockquote> Yes, this is a known problem, and your proposed solution is exactly what is needed. At present the problem isn't too bad with a fast video-card and modern video driver (on my computer it isn't even visible) but still needs to be fixed. Sadly, graphics program isn't something I know much about ... In the meantime, please make sure you have the latest video driver for your video card. This can make a big difference. <blockquote>Can we have Three Checks Chess in ChessV?</blockquote> Ok. This is simple, so it will be in the next version.</p>
