Chess Commander is a next generation chess game for the PC. It has many features to make the classic game of chess even more enjoyable to play - including legal move display, realistic voices, orchestral soundtrack and Plateau annotation. Chess Commander supports multiple computer opponents, free online chess and email chess - all from a single, graphically rich interface. You can also improve your game by studying 1000s of matches played by grandmasters, or create your own game databases for future reference. Version 1.20 adds access to the new online service "Chess Planet" - search for opponents by skill level and play them live online, with built in instant messaging.
