I just dropped by to see if my opponent had made a move, and when I clicked
the newest implementation of Ultima (that's Baroque to the rest of the
world), I was greeted with some kind of 'abstract' representations of
the chess pieces.

No matter what I clicked, I couldn't get the original 'staunton' style
of chess pieces back.

I tried selecting the 'chess motif' that was supposed to be available,
but then after I clicked 'view' I got stuck at move 0.  But the fact is,
we are around 6 moves into the game.  It appears that the most recent
innovation (or innovator) in the Game Courier must like the 'abstract'
representations of the pieces.  But I don't.  I prefer instead the
Staunton design, as that is what is most historically accurate.

Help!
