Engine scores are saved in the PGN file. But no direct plans to show taken pieces next to board, if you mean something like that.

That reminds me actually of advise my youth chess teacher told me a long time ago: "always compare material on the board, never look at the pieces next to board or in the box." Just curious if others were taught the same thing?

Hi Aart,

thanks for the update - GREAT NEWS!! FULLTIME Job, family - and you find time/energy to work on this project - thank you so much! I am so excited using the FICS server with your app!

„ compare material on the board, never look at the pieces next to board or in the box." I didnt learn this :(
