It generates a brief strategic description, in plain text, of the current board position. The information is displayed at the bottom of the notation window. And : Handicap and Fun -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Menu: Games – Levels – Handicap and fun On a fast computer, this program is stronger than 99.99% of all chess players. If you are a beginner or an occasional player this would normally mean merciless beatings in every single game. That can be pretty frustrating, and indeed put you off chess. For this reason, there are a number of predefined handicap levels in which you can reduce the playing strength and modify the style of of the engine in many different ways. By moving the sliders you can increase or decrease the base strength, force king attacks and piece trading, influence the direction of play, etc. Hope this helps Regards Mike
