I'll see if I can add some code like for the Snak-package.

Thx. My favourite as well ;)

Don't think so. The main difference between the two merida
sets is a small white glow around the Merida 2, which I like
as the pieces are easier to see on dark squares (IMHO).
Generally, pieces get a bit unsharp for small sizes due to
the scaling as well.

It only tries to ensure that you do not loose on time due to
some network lag e.g. See also
