Maybe the bug comes from the fact that Black has the 1st action in the game, which is the chose the starting array, placing the central pieces. Then only White plays the 1st "real" stroke.

I think that's correct. Tests with other games had no problems. When I tried Metamachy, fergus invited duniho to play. When duniho accepted, he chose White. Nevertheless, duniho got the first move as White. When fergus resigned, he was declared the winner.

As a further test, I created a new settings file called Test, in which I changed Sides from "White Black" to "Black White". This fixed some things. When I selected to play White, it let the other player move first as Black, and when I resigned, it correctly assigned the winner. However, it kept misreporting which side is White and which side is Black.

The easiest solution is to create a new preset in which Black is simply the first player, and no attempt is made to make White look like the first player. But this would make the movelist look confusing, because the moves that look like they should be for White would be for Black and vice versa. So, I'm wondering if there is a better solution than this.
