From the creator:
Welcome to KChess Elite, the educational chess program.
KChess Elite is simple to use, informative, and plays a good game. It comes in
both 16 bit and 32 bit editions.
KChess Elite allows you to play with two opponents, one person against the
computer (either black or white), or the computer against itself. To move, pick
up a piece with the mouse and drag it and drop it where you want it. Or just
type in the move that you want to perform. Moves can also be made in other ways
using either the mouse or keyboard.
At the top of the screen is the Menu Bar from which all functions of the game
can be operated. The main part of the screen is occupied by the Board and the
Pieces on it. To the right of the board the Status Panel displays information
about the game's progress. Below the board all the taken pieces are shown.
You can get all sorts of helpful information by clicking on pieces with the left
mouse button and squares with the right mouse button, using the Quick Hint or
Computer Move to get assistance from the computer, using undo and redo to
experiment with different moves, and watching the computer’s analysis of the
game in the Workings Box near the bottom of the Status Panel, and the Narration
to the right of it. In fact, KChess Elite can help you to play better by showing
you more information about the game and more flexibility in how you play it.
This help file even includes the rules of chess, history and glossary, some
useful guidelines for beginners, and special information about children and also
blind and visually impaired players.
Comments can be recorded within games. Whole games can be saved to disk and
reopened later. Both the board layout and the list of moves can be printed.
The game is highly configurable, and you can change dozens of options that
control the game’s operation and behaviour. There are some special settings for
beginners.
