2009-06-25	Jeremy Good	None	The links to random games don't work - they just produce FIDE vs. FIDE.	Edit View [*]
2008-11-11	David Paulowich	None	Changing the preset requires saving a new preset - under a new name. If you use a preset that does not enforce the rules, then you can drop new pieces on the board - as part of your first move in the game.	Edit View [*]
2008-11-10	pallab basu	None	I can not customize the preset. Say I want to start a game of RR vs FF. I change the chancellor in RR team to a queen and invite somebody. After the acceptance the armies are again reverting back in their original form.	Edit View [*]
2005-06-06	Fergus Duniho	None	I fixed the bug I said I knew about. I still need to test the Nutty Knights.	Edit View [*]
2005-06-05	Fergus Duniho	None	I have been testing and debugging the code for the new presets this afternoon. I fixed several bugs, but there is still one I know of, and I haven't yet begun to test and debug the Nutty Knights, since I have been testing it with a game of Colorbound Clobberers vs. Remarkable Rookies. I will continue testing and debugging later.	Edit View [*]
