How do you change the piece design? The default settings are not that good.
You can change the design. But first you have to log in with your username in konfiguration/user. Then you find more options to change piece design!
Maybe interesting for you:

I don't see a log on option, it has: Quit, Play, Competition, Elo-Rating, Training, Tools, Options, Information
The closest I see is Options->Users
In that window it has: Accept, Cancel, New, Remove
Is there supposed to be a place to register?
You don't have to log on to anything, just right click on the chessboard's border and you will see options for this. Sometimes the right click won't work if it is auto-playing the game of the day, so stop that from happening if it does that by itself.
I agree Lucas Chess is great. I like the FICS player mode, play like a GM and the daily test.
I have been using it for a few months, mainly for generating training files of my own blunders, but I can't do that with 960Chess games!!!
960 PGN just won't open.
Do any of you folks know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
I want to suggest you this free chess program, LucasCHess. I find it very good. You can play against custom engines of different elos or against an engine of you choice. There are a lot of training methods, very useful are mates training and tactics training, there are a lot of position. After you play a match, you can generate a personal training based on the mistakes you made in the match. You can also play blindfold chess. I really suggest you to dowload this chess program.
