I too had the font error on installation, but clicking Ignore installed properly without gliches.

For the first game I had the move list on and found I kept checking what had been played. In a way this seemed a bit pointless.

For the second game, I clicked through the 15-move game without the move-list on, then tried to set-up the position. Without checking I felt I had about 75% correct, but I found I had no recollection about several of the pieces. I clicked through the moves twice more before I felt confident. Yes indeed the black knight was really still on b8 after having not moved at all!

The option to hide the move list makes it so much better. It forces you to concentrate on each move as it happens. Strangely I found it was the pieces that hadn't moved which gave me most problem!

Its great that you provide a database of 3000+ minigames to work through. Overall I think it is a good addition to the tools you provide, though it would be nice if there was some sort of scoring system...
