Chesster is a fully functional chess program. Chesster now supports an integrated chess engine. You will discover that it is one of the most powerful chess engines out there so good luck! The Chesster GUI handles all human move authentication. In human versus computer games, moves are passed from the Chesster GUI to the engine using the Forsyth-Edwards Notation. FEN is a standard for describing chess positions using the ASCII character set. Chesster may eventually incorporate IP to IP game play over the internet but for the time being it can be used by either 2 players (same PC) or human against computer play. Minimum system Requirements Windows 7, Vista or XP Dual core or higher 512+ MB Ram (XP) or 1GB+ if Vista or Windows 7 Graphics card 128MB VRam or higher
