I tried to fix translation but failed. :twisted:
I think it's just because of umlaut symbols in the original german sources.

does anybody remember Rebel for dos?(I know about the decade version etc, the one Im refering to was v8 or v9 I think) I never got round to buying it! but I loved the multi-chess dispaying simul chess boards(I think it had 4 or 5 boards)

Id love to have a simultation game with 4 or 5 boards, so If Arena gets a feature like this would be great

But what is the point? You could open 5 GUIs if you want 5 boards...

I think after analyzing a game it would pop up on these boards all "critical" parts of the game depending on your tolerance. Fun tool to look over your game

Thanks for Arena. I feature I would like (ala ChessPartner) is to paste an epd position or a pgn game onto the chess board with a right click. This for us lazy folk who at times just want a quick look at a game/position without a lot of steps.
