A closer look at Net Chess
Net Chess is a powerful and flexible program that lets you play chess against a lot of computer players (chess engines), with friends and family on the same computer, via email or online directly connecting your computers over a local network or the Internet.
Net Chess is very "option rich" and contains a number of great chess features. It provides time control (conventional chess clock, incremental clock and special modes) and ability to limit chess engine decision making time without limiting yours. The game supports click-and-drag or click-and-click move options, board rotation and interactive move list. You can copy and paste the game with the help of clipboard, you can save it (with your comments, if necessary) in PGN/FEN format. Other convenient options are animation of the match, highlighting last move, IP address detection, several boards to choose from, different sound and color schemes, customizable cursors, and so on.
