That is expected if you don't select Referee engine. Ok here is what you do. You have to do some work to get a board display. I know it is easier to display a board right away but there is a reason to what I do and explaining it would be pointless.

a) Click on the Engines tab and touch 'freechess.org' to remove it from the Active particpants list, and then click on 'Scorpio' from the installed engine's list to add it to the active list. So after that you should have 'user' and 'Scorpio' on the active list.

b) Pick a referee engine to draw the board. That would be NebiyuChess.
Engines->Referee->NebiyuChess.

c) Start match

You should see a board and make a move by touching two squares.

Great, that works. I guessed that step a was necessary and did it prior to me posting a message, but not step b.You should consider making step b optional at some point and default to NebiyuChess with an option to override the referee perhaps.

So far, so good! Probably opening book support is something you will add later. I like the ability to play Scorpio.
