Hi

just a few short comments, since I don't have a good internet connection 
(I also won't be able to catch up on all emails, so I might have missed 
something in another thread)

another option for saving space for "black" and "white" in the clocks 
would be to write the string above the time string. That way we would 
have a lot more horizontal space for it. The font could be sized as 
min(user requested, width of element) or something similar.

there was the issue of renaming chess program to chess engine... I 
started this in a separate branch called engine. Would be good if people 
could read through the diffs and test it.
