Well done Greg!  It's interesting to play through different scenarios and even watch computer vs. computer for each variant.  I imagine people with their own large board variants are thrilled to see their variants here, since unusual board sizes aren't easy to find in physical form.

ChessV was around a long time ago, but I am new to it.  I haven't found many similar/reliable programs out there.  I've seen a couple variant mobile apps, but they all crash very easily, and the interface on them is difficult to use.  ChessV 2.0 has an easy and straightforward interface.  If I had to make one suggestion, it would be the ability to move forward and backward through the moves within the program itself (unless I'm missing the method of using other GUIs to do this).  Nevertheless, it is a lot of fun. Apologies to the CV administrators for rating this here, if I wasn't supposed to rate programs...
