Here are the symbles I would like changed when ready to be added to the site.

Switch the hat curently for the princess to the prince. Drop the helmet used for the prince. Won't be used.

The princess I want to be the small qeen hat curently used for the fool.

The fool I want

The Assassin(elephant) I want to be the diamond curently used for the jacks.

The jacks I wantThe magician(hawk) I want

The pheonix(star) I wantThe dragon(snake) I want

All the rest of the pieces can stay the same.

Well, the images you posted here are 50x50 .gif bitmaps from the Alfaerie set. The piece images I used on my website are 33x33 .png images. For a large board like Alpha-Omega Chess I think 50x50 would be too big for most displays. I just created a page for Macadamia Shogi, which is roughly similar in complexity (13x13 board), at

http://hgm.nubati.net/variants/macadamia

and it is already tight with 33x33 pieces.

I'm ready to try again. I've started a game, as white, with the previous time control of 100 moves in 200 minutes. The password is letstryagain.

Thank you for your time Muller. That helps. So all I can think of is that time time was off. Yet I posted a screen shot. So that he could copy it exactly. So I'm a little confused. Unless he was on incremental. Yet my pic clearly shows what I did.

As for the symbles, just keep them as they are then. No biggy. It is easier that way.
Would you be willing to add this to your site, Muller? This is the final version. I, nor anyone else, have found any issues. I am very happy with it. Everything seems to be working right.

Ok when I reconnected it gave me this message:

So let me try something. I'm setting it to incremetal.

Ace569er

hit new game. connection is closed by peer....

LXIVC

This is crazy. I keep getting the message that my opponent wants to play as white.

LXIVC

I don't think this will work. 

Ace569er

this connection closed by peer shit is pissing me off. I'm canging pass because I can't connect. This is a waste of time if we can't comunicate while trying to figure this out. I can't read minds, or tell what you are doing.

Ace569er

because everytime I hit new game. It resets me to white(machine black) I must hit machine black again. Yet All I get after you start is closed by peer. So I'll be white. You hit machine white to be black.....

Ace569er

your passcode is still closed. So I'm connecting to 123456a

Ace569er

make sure you are not on incremental. Not that there is any reason it should be. Muller will you try to connect with me so I can actually see what the issue is. This is getting me nowhere. There is nothing I can do. Clearly something is different on his settings.

LXIVC

I don't know why your connection was closed. That didn't happen to me. I just kept getting told that my opponent wanted to use the same settings that I was already using. I am certain that I was using the right time setting. I'd like to play your game, but this is too frustrating.

Ace569er

I think I found the issue. Part on the instructions are missing. You did not set to engine up right I think. One sec looking for the info.

Ace569er

When in the engine set up I did not have you put winboard.nl in command parameters.

So does this screen say winboard.nl is the IP address? If not add that. I am connected to "letstryagain"

Ace569er

I'm going to try and connect to my neighbors labtop. See if I can. I will download the uploaded file. Not copying mine. To do it just as someone downloading would need to do.

LXIVC

I think I've got it now. I'm on letstryagain again.

Ace569er

damn connection closed by peer. You seem to always lock me out. Unless I connect first I always get that stupid message. I assume because you have a piece moved. Yet I have no clue. I can not comunicate with you. I get messages 10 min. after trying something. So if you are not willing to call. I give up. Clealy I need test figure this out, with someone I can actually talk to while doing this. Because I can't tell what the hell you are doing. If you are waiting moving or what. So I give up. I'll test with someone that is actully willing to make sure we are doing thing at the right time.

Now I get "unable to connect to server".
