Hi,

Just a very short note. I've had a bit of problems posting to the forum, mostly because of the migration going on so I'll just post a little at a time what I originally put on this forum.

So it must be close to 2 months since I've purchased my "Angel" board. In that time I've purchased my chess pieces, stained and waxed the board, studied the source code where I've made some changes reducing the CPU on my system (I use Linux), reviewed the UCI protocol so I could download and fine tune the configuration for a number of engines. Eventually, I'll even look at how I can create the mechanism allowing me to play on xboard too. And of course I've played quite a few games. Getting the board has given me the excuse to refocus on chess and improve my game.

Looking forward to enjoying my new board and talking about chess!

Agreed - nice board! What did you use to stain it, and how?

Hi,

This is pretty late. I used lemon scented furniture polish! It was applied a little at time in coats. I had a couple of types of cans where I used the darker colour on the dark squares. Q-tips were used when I noticed a strong contrast so I didn't get it on the light coloured square until I switched it for the other furniture polisy can.
