Subject: Re: Alternative sets of pieces

Hieronymus: this bug is present in Shogi as well... if you are using the Japanese pieces and have the option to promote, the piece on which you must click to complete the promotion uses the default shogi piece graphic.

whopper: yes, at minimum, I should be able to see my games in the waiting room, complete with specified game parameters!

right, my point is after setting the game up, *I* cannot see the range of BKR ;)

Subject: Shogi notation

It would be nice if the Shogi notation shows when a player waives promotion of a piece. I beleve this is usually denoted with the character = after the move. When replaying my games over an actual board, I've been confused by this, so I figured I'd bring it up ;) Of course, the ultimate suggestion would be a .psn/.kif/.csa export feature, but I'm not sure the format is standardized enough for this.

Subject: Waiting Games Feature

Hello all, I was wondering if it would be possible to show in one's waiting games list the BKR range that is acceptable for one to join the game. For instance, the following is currently shown:

Japanese Chess Normal game any player black 1 day

I propose the following:

Japanese Chess Normal game 1800 <= BKR <= 2200 black 1 day

What does everyone think?

oh, great! Thanks! For some reason the option didn't show up in the same manner that the Shogi pieces did, hence my confusion...
