Extra features

The standalone flashCHESS III packs some exciting features compared to the online version.

Here are the highlights:

Visual aids show possible moves, threats and oppotunities during the chess game
Visual Aids highlight the pieces you can move, pieces under attack and whether or not you can capture an enemy piece. This is very useful especially when you're in check and may miss possible moves and it also helps you take advantage of oppotunities you may overlook otherwise.		 You can play chess in diagram mode
2D Mode - if you're more confortable with a more "traditional" representation of the board, you can switch to the 2D Mode. This mode is also useful when you want a clearer, unobscured view.
See which areas are controlled by one side or the other
Board Analysis shows how the Board is controlled, in shades of blue, red and purple, helping you in the strategic assessment and positioning. Advance pieces to neutral areas; see where are the enemy's strongholds; lure your opponent away to weaken its position.		 You get suggestions for the best moves - handy for learning chess
"Help me move" will give you handy advices if you're stuck. You decide if you actually want to do the suggested move or not. The suggestion is given in plain English, with a nice visual arrow and can be a poweful aid. Use it sparingly to avoid being spoiled.
You can edit the chess board, import and export FEN strings
Board Editor is the most powerful feature - it allows you to build your own game and recreate famous positions. What's more, you can import and export the Board in FEN format. In Chess Puzzles page, you can find some interesting postions; there are many more out there!		 Openings
Openings with names: you can see the exact name of an opening sequence; all positions defined in Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings are included. If you search for them and study them, you can improve your play significantly. See for example Gambit Chess Openings by Eric Schiller.

Thanks a lot! This is the difference between a very good product with an excellent customer care (like yours) and the scum that you can find in internet for the same price. Thanks again, very professional.
