The games:
Chess
-----
Our Chess board is drawn with a classic 'Staunton' set, with an alternative set of 2D pieces. We think we've achieved unsurpassed quality. Authentic wood textures and great animations make Chess a pleasure to play!
Checkers
-------
Checkers - also known as Draughts is the classic game where the aim is to take all your opponent's pieces by hopping over them. Reach the other side of the board, and your pieces are promoted to kings, enabling them to hop backwards as well as forwards. Checkers is a deceptively simple game, with lots of depth.
Shogi & Mini Shogi (Japanese Chess)
----------------------
Shogi pieces have complex graphics and we've created something special and easy to read, with 2 styles of piece along with a unique 'western' chess set, making this great game accessible to all.
Coming Soon: Shogi CPU opponent!
Go
--
On the surface, Go is quite simple - but Go players know how complex this game really is. Our Go stones are rendered with beautiful detail, using a classic 'shell' design, and our boards offer game play all the way up to a full-sized 19x19 go-ban, for truly epic matches! Final territory status is shown with great visualization and full statistics. Territory is evaluated using the great open-source Fuego Go Engine, and you can play against it too! See http://fuego.sourceforge.net/ for information on Fuego.
XiangQi (Chinese Chess)
-----------------------
If Chess is a war, XiangQi is a battle! So goes the saying for this classic game. Offering unique challenges to current chess players, XiangQi is very addictive! Again we've provided a 'western' set, making this game easy to play for all.
