Tony, you made the correction without problems, I were not able to, Were I
making the things incorrectly?.
About the game we are playing, I disagree with you, your chances don´t
have diminished, in my opinion Black is ligerously best positioned than
White, my possible good movements look very limited, and I can not
nivelate the number of major pieces, by compensation, for example, because
if I do that, my position become worse. I have to point out that we are
playing the game carefuly, without taking great risks. But the pieces in
both bands are now without coordination to try strong attacks. I think the
game is going to mantain its positional style for some movements more.

Roberto, I think I tried the take-back after Fergus fixed the bug. About the game, I was refering to Alice Chess--in which my chance *are* rather dim! Deneb? I'm still in the game--I hope!

Some people have requested the ability to handle games with more than two players. I am thinking of adding this, but it will take a while. The main work will be in updating the rendering methods to handle showing the board from each player's perspective. Rather than making this feature completely versatile, I will just add 90 and 270 degree views for square boards and 120 and 240 degree views for hexagonal boards. Other angles would not be doable under some rendering methods.

Fergus, that would be an excellent addition. Would it be possible to select the view or switch the view (say, select 0, 90, 180, or 270)? This would allow players in games with an odd numbers of players, say 3-player games, the flexibility to select the best view when no view is perfect. This would also have the added benefit of allowing players to 'flip' the board to see it from their opponent's perspective.
