Hope all is right now, at last I wrote nonsense to Quanticade (wrong name of the programmer).
Sorry to Martin again, and thanks for Quanticade!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but anyway:
- I would like to be chessnix in 'green' on the CCRL. It is free.
- chessnix 1.2 supports chess960. is there a chess960 list as well? if so, how to get chessnix there?
- I would like the engine's homepage to be a link to github. how to let you know?

If you take a look at the CCRL blitz list you will see that it is orange there which means it is free and open source. Also, the home page is its github page.

Maybe open source should be green instead but now it's been this way for 20 years.

Ow, ok I misinterpreted probably (because of the colors indeed).
