Oh yes, this is a great addition for so many reasons... Thanks! I'm
especially pleased that pieces can now be represented by the correct
letters for the game, without requiring a proliferation of piece sets.
The ability to use the plus-sign in the name for shogi pieces is a very
nice touch, too.
I would like to suggest something, though. Right now, when moving a piece
you can either enter the piece type ('P e2-e4') or not ('e2-e4'). I
always do the former, because it makes it easier for me to keep track of
games. Some opponenets do, some do not. I would be nice if, when
entering a simple single-move, like 'e2-e4', it would automatically add
the 'P' or 'p'.
Thanks for the consideration. You have done a lot of good work on
improving the Game code recently! I need to get to work on presets using
the new features for wildebeest chess, lions & unicorns chess, and others.
