I find the standard win/lose messages
very, very boring.

Please allow for the programmers to
create their own messages.

In general, the Zillions games would be much more
lively, personal and responsive if
a message could be put out
(maybe NOT in an extra text box, but rather
as part of the game-screen)
after a move.
The message would be created by a special message
command inside the rules file.

This way the player could get warnings, hints, comments, etc.
A whole new area of fun would open with this.
It makes the games more human and interactive.

I wonder why Jeff Mallet did not allow for this in the first place. In computer chess programming this has been standard for as long as I can think of.

Thank you for considering it.
