ChesseR

ChesseR is an application that allows you to play correspondence chess with
anyone that has an email address. Visually the chess board is very easy to
look at. The chess pieces are not all cluttered together as I have seen with
other programs. This is important for tough moves that require you to study
the board. There is an optional “piece trail” feature that displays legal
moves for a piece when the mouse cursor is placed over it. The chess board can
be resized. A neat feature is the use of color tinting. This allows you to
change the color of an item, yet retain its shading. All the colors of the
“ChesseR Desktop” can be “tinted” to your liking. Current game information is
in plain view listing total moves, game length (in days), last move, captured
pieces and so on. You can send and receive moves directly with your email
account or simply cut and paste your moves from your email application. A POP3
email account is NOT required to use this program. A message to your foe can
be sent along with your move if you wish. This is a blue jeans program for
people that want to play a nice game of chess with their friends. No time
limit on moves. Just bat your moves back and forth till someone wins.
