You can play against computer, switch the sides, start a new game and flip the board, setup board, save game as PGN. The AI should defeat chess beginners. There is a big TODO list:

• Better end game detection and message - FIXED
• All pawn promotions - FIXED
• Optional check and gardez message to the user
• Fixed AI time and not the tree depth - FIXED
• Undo/redo move - FIXED
• Open/save game - IN PROGRESS
• Analysis mode
• Much better AI
• AWT interface - Java applet on this page - FIXED
• Correct state saving - FIXED
