OVERVIEW

  K-Chess is a simple, informative and enjoyable Chess program.
  
  K-Chess 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, right back to the start of the game.
    
  The game can be played between two players, one player and the computer, or
  the computer against itself in Auto Play mode.  There is full keyboard and
  mouse control, and context-sensitive help.  Games may be saved to disk and
  reloaded at any time.

  The game is customisable, allowing various restrictions on playing time by
  game or by move, tailoring of different hinting levels, and changing of any
  colours that are displayed.
