How the ChessTutor applet works

Accessing and Re-playing a game

The ChessTutor applet reads from a games catalog database. In the case of this page, this is a Chess Openings database. You may select one of these catalog entries (from the above list) which will result in a new Window containing a chess board. By selecting from the available buttons, you may play one move at a time, play all the moves in sequence, go back a move, stop a play sequence, or reset the game to the starting position.

Analysis of moves and positions

As you traverse through each move, comments which have been attached to a move will appear on the right bottom panel of the Window.
