Greg:

I have been testing your preset and find it 100% OK, everything is working nice, but I would like to ask you a special favor: change its appearance by cloning the preset that I'm currently using whose URL is

 https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Symmetric+Chess&settings=default 

and its appearance is

 

 

You  know, it's something very simple: copy the code from your preset and paste it on the mine; then edit the clone with your userID and the settings name you like.

Note that in the Pre-Game box there is a line of code saying:

remind Watch Symmetric Chess games at www.youtube.com/channel/UCGEF6o8z5oW-OZlaat-Lqkg;

I use it to advertise my Youtube channel as a mean of attracting players.

The underlying reason to change the appearance is that blue pieces stand out better on an orange background than on a brown one; the same applies to the lines used to highlight the squares of origin and destination of the moves.

This is evident by comparing a whole sequence of movements.

Thank you very much for your support!
