Instructions [How to Play Game]

Choose your side (White/Black change over by clicking on "VS" sign) and select computer's thought-depth level on start-up window. And click on "Start" button to start a game. There are four levels. The deeper, it gets tougher. But, at the same time, the deeper, it takes much more time for computer player to think a move. So, please select a level within the extent that your computer (or otherwise you) can accept.

During game, move pieces by mouse dragging-and-dropping in your turn. As you start dragging a piece, red guide frames appear on every square on which you can put the piece. X marks indicate illegal moves. On special moves such as castling or en passant, a balloon pops up and notify you of the move.

Record of Moves and its Replay

The record of moves in algebraic notation is automatically recorded and displayed on right-hand-side of the chess table while game is going on. After game ends, by clicking on record items (or by mouse-wheeling on chess-table), you can replay moves and look back the match. If you want to obtain a copy of the record as text, you can send it to clipboard by clicking on "Copy" button.
