1. Play against an engine
The program has 61 pre-installed engines you can play against, with a wide range of levels: from 0 to 3300 ELO.
Version R includes the latest neural network engines of the Maia project that emulate human play based on a certain ELO.
You can add your own engines as long as they use the UCI protocol.

- Study Openings
- Customise and work with engines (select which external engines you want to use or let different engines play tournaments against each other)
