OK, Fergus, I sent you the piececlopedia article again, so you should have
my e-mail address now. Please send me some BIG multicolored piece bitmaps,
and the biggest Alfaerie available, then I will make a quick attempt of
brewing something with it. I am skeptical that 50x50 will be big enough.
Normally people that use WinBoard to play make its main window
screen-filling, which even on the narrow screen of my laptop gives 72x72
squares. When I want to display two Capablanca games side by side on the
monitor of my desktop, I use 49x49. I would consider that annoyingly small
if I had to play myself. So it seems that on the average, WinBoard will
have to blow up the graphics you can deliver by a pretty large factor, and
we should hope that the result will not be too ugly.
