THANK YOU
---------
Thank you for trying Chess Tree! Chess Tree is an exciting,
innovative, new approach to chess study. Select any node
along a play tree, and instantly see the board position. Study
standard openings, great chess matches, and more! Import any
SAN formatted text file to create your own libraries. Setup a
board position and search for a match anywhere in the library.
FEATURES
========
Chess Tree displays an explorer-type of tree. Each node on the
tree represents a different chess position. This makes position
study extremely intuitive and simple.
Importing
---------
Importing is one of the most powerful and unique features of
Chess Tree. You can create libraries and exchange them with your
friends, other chess clubs, etc. You can import tournaments and
games that you've participated in or that you would like to study.
Insert comments for any of the games or moves. The possibilities
are endless!
Searching
---------
The search module allows you to graphically setup a board position
and then search for a match through any loaded library. If a match
is found, then that node becomes the active node and you can study
the preceding moves and the variations that follow that position
on the tree.
Chess Tree Libraries
--------------------
Chess Tree comes with an extensive, commented "Standard Openings"
library and a BONUS library containing the complete Fischer-Spassky
match of 1992.

warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The

Chess Tree is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends,
but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system.
The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer
users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide
incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you
find this program useful and find that you are using Chess Tree
and continue to use Chess Tree after the trial period, you must
make a registration payment of $35 to Daniel Shapiro. The $35
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at
any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An
example is that this software may be used by any number of people and
may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as
there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's
being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different
persons at the same time.
Commercial users of Chess Tree must register and pay for their
copies of Chess Tree within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting
Shenandoah Software.
Anyone distributing Chess Tree for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Shenandoah Software at the address below for
authorization.
This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors
recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware
distributors, and such distributors may begin offering Chess Tree
immediately (However Shenandoah Software must still be advised so that
the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of
Chess Tree.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Chess Tree along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy
if they find that they can use it.
