Poland  ChessExplorer
ChessExplorer 6.22 is a Windows software (Win32) with full graphics interface, principally designed to solving orthodox chess problems: direct mates, selfmates, helpmates. Generally, ChessExplorer is created to test all possible moves and to find exactly all solutions that exists (mode "brute force" - using big force of modern computers). This principle isn't violate by added some "bits of intelligence" (for exemple, a side who defends to mate, "remembers" his good, already verified moves, and he doesn't need test every time all posible moves).

Program Features:

  • can find mates/selfmates/helpmates in any number of moves, up to 63
  • preview and import/export FEN position ( *.pgn, *.epd, *.fen files )
  • 17 notation's languages (Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish )
  • "Men move" - select first move to test
  • can stop and save the state of analysis in order to continue later
  • show time, progress, number of testing moves and speed (moves per second)
  • can move, rotate positions and print diagrams
  • quickly installation, simple and intuitive usage.
