Software Board-Games - Rival

Description:

Rival plays chess and chess variants.
 Rather than take the sensibleapproach and allow you to operate the program via drop down menus,Rival uses icons, great big chunky ICONS.
 We'll leave it up to youto decide if this was a good idea or not but Russ spent a lot oftime  drawing those icons so please try to love 'em!  We're verypleased with the way it looks, and once you've figured out whereeverything is and what it does, you may well find Rival a lot easierto use than if it used words and stuff.As well as playing a respectable game of chess, Rival plays various variantgames using the regular chess pieces (see 'Rules For Variant Games').Very shortly, Rival will be able to play half a dozen or more variant chessgames, at present it plays only tow, Kinglet and Giveaway chess.
