Hi Alexander,

For symetry's sake, I think the menu Training should be made online like the
"* Game" one. That is something like

Play
        Serious Game
        Tactical Game
        Internet Game
        -------------
        Train openings
        Train tactics
        Train calculation of variations
        -------------
        Correspondence Chess (this menu is ok as rather long and complex)

Moreover the Play menu is short enough, so there is no real need for
factorisation.

Note that correspondence chess is under development. For email chess I

Xfcc support is certainly a nice feature, so the port from Perl to Tcl (or
even C) seems important for me.

Hoping that all the above works for you as it does for me ;)


Well,  I did not have the chance to test correspondance feature but there is
a Makefile small bug : you changed Makefile where Makefile.conf was the file
to update (Makefile is generated from Makefile.conf). Other files to  update
are Makefile.conf.darwin and Makefile.mingw.
Another point is that Correspondence.tcl file should start with a c char,
not a C char just to be consistent with other file names.

My next steps will be to add NLS for the Correspondence Chess module

I will do french translation, of course.
