New Chess Openings Video Vault!!!

Welcome to Little ChessPartner
(also known as JChess), a Java chess machine, which you can play online on this
website. To play, simply make a move on the board and the engine will respond
automatically. Colours are changed whenever you ask for a new game.
This software was designed by the Dutch company
LokaSoft,
who are also the manufacturers of the very strong
ChessPartner program. This online version does not play as well as
the PC version of ChessPartner because of the limitations of Java programming.
However on a fast PC, it can play at a 2000+ FIDE rating.
This program is still under development and feedback is appreciated.
Program
History
December 2006
Version 1.12 released - Added some extra function for programmers. Also, after each new
game colours are swapped.
March 2005
Version 1.09 released - Added a small 1000 moves opening book. This will make
JChess considerably stronger.
January 2003
Version 1.08 released - Added more parameters and options to make it better to integrate
with websites.
February 2001
Added the option to setup a start position and some options to change the colours.
July 2000
The applet has been made freeware, you may download it and use it on your own
website.
March 1998 Update
Added some simple positional evaluation, also setting dialog has better
functionality.
March 1998
The applet makes its first moves, lots of work needs to be done, like positional
evaluation, opening book, etc.
The speed isn't as bad as we once thought. On a P233-MMX with IE3.02 the speed is
between 20000-30000 positions per second.
To purchase products, I recommend Wholesale Chess. They provide the highest quality chess products at the lowest prices (especially for US and Canadian players). They even offer to match prices with other chess websites! Even though I live overseas, this is where I choose to purchase chess goods.
For chess opening training and repertoire maintenance, I highly recommend the software I use, Chess Openings Wizard. This software was approved by Grandmaster Peter Svidler (FIDE rating 2744 as of January 2010) many years ago.
Thanks for playing JChess (or just playing some moves then disconnecting from the site).
