Hi,

Rather than present an inferior representation of money games it was dropped.
None of the main features that differentiate money games from match play were implemented correctely in 3dfibs (jacoby, beavers etc) and since I have absolutely no experience in money games, I was not motivated to tackle it.

I believe GnuBG proper has an excellent money game play. I would suggest it. For those who may not have tried Gnubg recently, the graphic interface has really come a long way. The ability to design your own 3d board and checkers is quite remarkable.  

thanks again Gnubg team!!
