- Castling doesn't work on Fischer Random. Also, 0-0/0-0-0 is the right notation so this should be an option too. |

The only reason I gave 4 stars is that it does not work when I click it nothing happens otherwise I love it |

This is excellent. The only thing I don't like about it, is the failure to save your setting when it comes to the blindfold mode. For example, I want to improve my blindfold chess ability by playing 1 day-per-move games (there's no time pressure, so I can solely focus on improving my visualisation)... but unfortunately the /blindfold command isn't saved. This means every time I return to the game after a day, I get to glimpse the board and have to enter /blindfold in all over again. If you could fix this, that would be great. |
