There are a lot of widget/gadget systems out there now, Yahoo, Mac and most recently Vista. It would be really nice to have a little indicator on the desktop that told you when you had a chess move to make.

...now having made this great suggestion I can't say I have the time to work on it. But sometimes the idea is the hard part ;-)

Time, the old enemy.

I have toyed with doing it myself (despite loathing Vista on my home PC) I’ll squeeze it in at some point, I am sure.

dunno if it's been updated for Vista.

If you use Firefox you have another couple you could use. See here for the FF extension .[at the top of that page].
