We have added some simpler graphics for the checkers game. If you want to try out the new checkers graphics, you can set them up at your Preferences Pages. We have also heard reports from many WebTV users that some of the graphics pieces in chess and checkers disappear sometimes. We have attempted to fix this. If you have been experiencing disappearing game pieces, go to your Preferences Pages and select "I use WebTV". Please let us know if this fixes the problem. You will now also receive a message when a game ends. Some people were having problems realizing when a game had ended, so the system will now send you a message to let you know. As always, there may be some problems with these changes. If you experience any, please let us know. Thanks.
