<p>ChessV version 0.4 posted to sourceforge:<br> <a href='http://sourceforge.net/projects/chessv'>http://sourceforge.net/projects/chessv</a></p> <p>Added support for the following games: <ul><li><a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/diffmove.dir/switching.html'>Switching Chess</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/boardrules.dir/cylindrical.html'>Cylindrical Chess</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/historic.dir/chaturanga.html'>Chaturanga</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/historic.dir/shatranj.html'>Shatranj</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/historic.dir/courier.html'>Courier Chess</a></li></ul></p> <p>Added many user-interface features, including changing colors of the board squares and the pieces, and selecting from multiple piece sets. Support for <a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/graphics.dir/abstract/index.html'>Fergus Duniho's Abstract Graphics Set</a> has been added. Also, settings are automatically stored, and on a game-by-game basis, so if you like to play Chaturnaga on an uncheckered board with old-world pieces, but not other games, it will save it that way automatically. Additionally, right-click on any piece in any game, select properties, and it will give all kinds of information. In addition to a movement chart, it gives statistics for average mobility, average squares attacked, average directions attacked, and average number of safe checks on a board of the given size.</p> <p>Finally, many bugs have been fixed, most importantly the problem with it freezing during computer thinking.</p>
