The web site is just fantastic. Better than any GUI.

Nebula is down vs Junior, but for the miilions (maybe billions) of Nebula fans, don't despair. It's all part of the bigger plan ;)

Thanks Dragan, it feels very satisfying when people think the website looks great.

And I am sure the billion of Nebula fans can expect a more evenly matched opponent for round 2.

It is a brilliant web site. One thing I'd like to see - board coordinates at the side and bottom, A-H, 1-8

Ah, yes.

Not going to happen though Clemens sorry. I suggest use the eval graph, it's possible to click the moves in the graph.
