- OVERVIEW
-
- K-Chess for Windows is a simple, informative and enjoyable Chess
- program.
-
- K-Chess actually lets you see what it is doing, and so helps you to
- learn to play better. The computer will help you in several ways,
- such as showing where a piece can move, what pieces are threatening
- a particular square, and even play your move for you. Best lines
- of attack are displayed for both players for several moves ahead.
- Multi level undo and redo is also available so that moves may be
- reviewed and/or replayed at any time, right back to the start of
- the game.
-
- The game can be played between two players, one player and the
- computer, or the computer against itself in Auto Play mode. There
- is full keyboard and mouse control, and help. Games may be saved
- to disk and reloaded at any time.
-
- The game is customisable, allowing various restrictions on playing
- time by game or by move, and tailoring of different hinting levels.
