INSTALLATION:

Chess Tiger comes with an opening book (book.pdb) which contains 8000
chess moves and must be installed together with the main program
(ChessTiger.prc).

So when you install the program, you actually have to install the
following two files on your handheld:

  ChessTiger.prc
  Book.pdb

WHAT'S NEW:
-----------

VERSION 14.6 (Sep 18th, 2001):

* 2 PLAYERS MODE: In this mode the program does not play, it
  just checks the moves you enter. This mode can be used to play
  against a friend, or to force an opening of your choice that you
  want to play against the computer.

* ANALYSIS MODE: When you are in "2 players" mode, you can turn
  the "analysis" on. The program is going to display its thinking, but
  it will not play. You can use this mode for example to replay a game
  and look for blunders or missed opportunities.

* HINT: Gives you a hint when you really do not know what to do.

* GO TO MOVE #: Allows you to go directly to a given move
  instead of repeatedly taping on "back" or "forward" to reach this
  move.

* Tap shortcuts:
  * Tapping on the best line switches to the "max info" view (the view
    with a small board and a lot of space for the best line).
    Tapping again on the best line returns to the previous view.
  * Tapping on "Move #" allows to go directly to a given move number.
  * Tapping on "Thinking" stops the program's thinking.
  * Tapping on "Analyzing" exits from analysis mode.

* "General options" screen (Menu Options->Prefs) allows you to:
  * select the animation speed (slow, normal, fast or no animation).
  * enable/disable the use of the "Find" button as a way to switch
    to the next view (board size).
  * enable/disable the sound.
  * give a specific auto off time for Chess Tiger (so the device does
    not turn itself off when the program is thinking).

* The user interface is much more responsive (no more "please wait"
  messages).

* Piece animation is now smoother.

* The "FEN" tag is now supported in the PGN files. This allows
  to save or load a game that does not begin with the standard initial
  chess position.
