lol, well at least you picked a good name :)
when viewing your game, if you click on 'piece set' you can change to
'alfaerie' and that shows western style pieces.
you don't have to open your email to play, go to game logs here
http://play.chessvariants.org/pbmlogs/index.php
type your userid and password, and you will see your games, just click on
your name and away you go.
good luck :)
give 'em trouble he he :)
