- THANK YOU
- ---------
- Thank you for trying Chess Tree! Chess Tree is an exciting,
- innovative, new approach to chess study. Select any node
- along a play tree, and instantly see the board position. Study
- standard openings, great chess matches, and more! Import any
- SAN formatted text file to create your own libraries. Setup a
- board position and search for a match anywhere in the library.
-
-
- FEATURES
- ========
-
- Chess Tree displays an explorer-type of tree. Each node on the
- tree represents a different chess position. This makes position
- study extremely intuitive and simple.
-
-
- Importing
- ---------
- Importing is one of the most powerful and unique features of
- Chess Tree. You can create libraries and exchange them with your
- friends, other chess clubs, etc. You can import tournaments and
- games that you've participated in or that you would like to study.
- Insert comments for any of the games or moves. The possibilities
- are endless!
-
-
- Searching
- ---------
- The search module allows you to graphically setup a board position
- and then search for a match through any loaded library. If a match
- is found, then that node becomes the active node and you can study
- the preceding moves and the variations that follow that position
- on the tree.
-
-
- Chess Tree Libraries
- --------------------
- Chess Tree comes with an extensive, commented "Standard Openings"
- library and a BONUS library containing the complete Fischer-Spassky
- match of 1992.
