PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

  ONE LINER:

    Mouse-driven educational chess program

  SHORT DESCRIPTION:

    K-Chess is an educational Chess program which shows its own calculations
    as it is working.  It has various types of hints and help, several modes
    of play, move undo and redo, and is fully keyboard or mouse controlled.

  MEDIUM DESCRIPTION:

    K-Chess is a Chess program which allows play between two players, a player
    and the computer, or the computer against itself.  It has full keyboard
    and mouse control, context-sensitive help, several types of hints, and
    on-screen calculation of the best moves.  Games can be printed and saved.

    K-Chess shows where a piece can move, and what pieces threaten a square.
    It also offers suggested moves, or can make a move for you.  Best lines
    of attack are displayed for both players several moves ahead.  And any
    move can be taken back or replayed right back to the start of the game.

  LONG DESCRIPTION:

    K-Chess is a flexible Chess program which 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.
    
    The game can be between two players, one player and the computer, or the
    computer against itself.  There is full keyboard and mouse control, and
    context-sensitive help.  Games may be printed out in full, and saved to
    disk for later retrieval.

    The game is customisable, allowing various restrictions on playing time,
    different hinting levels, and you can change the colours displayed.
