×HAT'S TO EXPLAIN? ÃHESSBOARD IS A PROGRAM THAT YOU USE TO PLAY CHESS. ÁNYTHING YOU CAN DO WITH A BOARD AND PIECES, YOU CAN DO WITH THIS PROGRAM. ÉF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY CHESS, YOU'LL HAVE TO READ UP ON IT. ÔHIS IS FOR HUMANS ONLY, YOU CAN'T PLAY AGAINST THE COMPUTER. ÓORRY.
ÔHERE ARE ON SCREEN PROMPTS TO HELP YOU THROUGH SOME THINGS.
ÎOT ON THE SCREEN:
Æ1.................ÒESET THE BOARD
Æ3.................ÔOGGLE PLAYERS
Æ5.................ÌOAD FILE
Æ7.................ÓAVE FILE
ÉF YOU SHOULD MANAGE TO GET A PAWN TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE BOARD, YOU GET TO PROMOTE YOU PAWN TO A ÒOOK, ËNIGHT, ÂISHOP, OR ÑUEEN. ÙOU'LL BE PROMPTED FOR THESE. ÓELECTING THE ËNIGHT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT FACING ËNIGHT. ÐRESS Î IF YOU WANT THE LEFT FACING KÎIGHT.
×HEN YOU PICK UP A PIECE AND SET IT DOWN ON ANOTHER SQUARE, CONTROL IS TURNED OVER TO THE OTHER PLAYER, UNLESS THE SHIFT LOCK KEY IS DOWN. ÔHIS IS THE KEY TO CASTLING AND CAPTURING EN PASSANT. ÏR YOU CAN JUST USE Æ3.
ÌOAD AND ÓAVE ARE PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD. ÏNE PROBLEM IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE SCREEN IS SAVED, YOU CAN'T SAVE A SCREEN, CHANGE THE COLORS, AND THEN LOAD IT BACK IN. ÉT WILL LOOK STRANGE.
