>>Yes - Steven
 Steinitz is right, the annotation tool is found in a little notepad-looking icon in the engine analysis widget. There's also some help information about it under Annotation.

>>Hi...
>>
>>Thanks to Benigno Hern?ndez for updating the Spanish translations, which is in subversion.
>>
>>Other recent new features are a "Select" button in the gamelist widget (replacing the "Negate" button), and a "First Engine Plays Others" button in the computer tournament, specifically to test one engine.
>>
>>This weekend i'm working on adding the ability to observe multiple games on FICs. Attached is a proof on concept screenshot. It took me ages to find the APIs to make a little board as it's been a while... 
>>
>>Mulitple games and move animation will be supported, and games can be observed while you play one yourself (which is currently impossible), but I'm
 not sure about the widget layout. I was thinking of having a whole row of games placed *inbetween* the console and clock/buttons, but there is room for one or two games where i have it in the screenshot, so i'll probably put them there. The small game will not be navigatable (ie. it will show the current position *only*), but hopefully i'll enable loading any browsed game to the main board in full.
>>
>>I'm not a heavy FICs user, so ideas and suggestions are welcome.
