- OVERVIEW
-
- K-Chess 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 give a suggested next move or 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 context-sensitive help. Games may be printed, and
- saved to disk and reloaded at any time.
-
- The game is customisable, allowing various restrictions on playing time
- by game or by move, tailoring of different hinting levels, and changing
- of any colours that are displayed.
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- K-Chess runs on most Personal Computers with an 8086 or higher processor
- (eg XT, AT etc) and 512KB of memory. It may be run from diskette or hard
- disk. Any colour or monochrome screen should work fine, as there is no
- requirement for graphics.
-
- K-Chess requires MS-DOS version 3 or a compatible operating system.
-
-
- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

- another diskette or hard disk. To install onto another disk:

-
- UPGRADING FROM K-CHESS 1.x
-
- K-Chess version 2 can now print games, and includes check and mate
- indicators on the game list on screen, printer, and in saved games.
- To accomodate this the format of saved games has now changed, and a new
- file extension ".KCH" is used. Games saved under previous versions of
- K-Chess are not compatible with this version.
