+Its also possible to play a chess960 (Fischer Random Chess) game. Just set up your chess960 position. Please choose "Stockfish", "Galjoen" or "WyldChess" as your engine, cause the other engines dont support chess960 mode.
 Before or during your game you can also change your settings like book, time, engine, and many more (see details below). These settings are safed and reloaded, so you start with your old settings first.
 Settings can be changed by placing the white & black queen at the fields a4-h6 (you must be in the starting position) or by using the clock buttons (no matter the board position).
 With the queen placing you can change some default values, whereas the clock buttons offers the complete options.
