The software allows two types of play: with the computer and with a human opponent via email. An email game is played by sending an encrypted text record of the game back and forth between the players. The software encrypts and decrypts the games
automatically. Check our web site for information on how to contact email opponents.
You can download records of completed games from our web site. These can be loaded in the program and studied by stepping through them move by move. Also, check the web site for availability of an Expert player program.
We are currently working on a German translation. If you would like to help review our translation please contact us.
Computer Programmers - The Plateau program will be set up so that you can develop and plug in your own "player" programs. Send us email if you are interested.
