===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
K-Chess Elite is a powerful and versatile chess program designed to
help you play better. It is ideal for casual players, children learning
to play chess, and anyone wanting to improve their game.
K-Chess Elite has lots of features to help you play. See the pieces that
have been taken, where pieces can move, who can take what, which move
the computer recommends, whether checkmate is inevitable, and more. Set
the board to a specific layout, rotate it, enlarge it, and change the
set of pieces.
Unlimited undo and redo is available, plus move hinting and replay,
giving you complete control of the game and allowing alternate
strategies to be explored. Print board layouts and move lists. Save
games to disk and reload at any time. A variety of file formats are
available, including the standard PGN file format which gives access to
thousands of competition games played all over the world.
Choose from one of three different move notations, and even customise
the language in which those notations are recorded. Record details of
the game and players, and add comments to any move.
K-Chess Elite can play with two players, one player against the computer
(either black or white), or the computer against itself. Choose from a
variety of time restrictions, or none at all. Change the playing
strength to suit yourself. There are dozens of options to customise the
appearance and operation of the game.
There is full keyboard and mouse control, and easy to use button bar,
and extensive help. And it plays a good game of chess too!
Versions for both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95/98/NT are included in the
one package.
