Not a complaint, but a wish: I wish that GAME Courier had the additional feature that one could click and move multiple pieces each turn for some of the multiple move variants. Maybe games could have an option for designers to hit the verify button only after you've pointed and clicked on all the pieces you intend to move (or it could be done automatically if one was able to specify in the rules how many pieces each side is supposed to move each time). Maybe that's too ambitious though? There are a number of games (Chieftain Chess, Giant Chess, Balanced Marseillais Chess, Moderate Progressive Chess, etc.) that would benefit hugely from this.

Side note: On this subject there is a curiosity I've noticed. The wonderful feature that allows one to have pieces change automatically disappears when one has to manually enter additional notation. I'm hoping this can be remedied if we can somehow institute multiple point and click.
