Is there any way you can set up a clickable option for watching ChessV
play
Baroque/Ultima with itself?  Would it always play the same openings or
defenses, or is there a random function involved?

And also, so long as you are constantly updating ChessV, maybe you could
penalize the computer for placing its pinchers on the same diagonal as
each other?  What works for Chess - connecting pinchers on the same
diagonals - is slightly disadvantageous in Baroque.  Pinchers are
positioned somewhat better if they are positioned a Knight's move away
from a friendly piece.
