THANK YOU! the window is a bit klunky (the bottom row of the board is cut in half), but I don't think anything critical is missing. I'll play around with it and let you know if anything important seems missing.

I can confirm that it appears to correctly access crafty as its chess engine, so all analysis features should work fine. I'll have to see how it displays variations and tree searches.

btw, since you deserve to know something about the app you ported , scid is a tool for handling chess databases. so, given a file containing games or positions, scid lets you load a game. search for a position, move the pieces around and explore different variations (and save new ones), and analyze positions through crafty.

it's very instructive to analyze the games of chess grandmasters on a move-by-move basis. So, being able to load a game, try out alternatives (and see why they're NOT chosen), is a really useful study tool.

Anyway, thanks again!
