Wow! Chess on a PC... what will they think of next?

Thanks for posting the link.  I wasn't aware of this piece of software.

I don't see an option to allow the user to install his own choice of engine.  That to me, right there is a deal-breaker.  

I also don't see any mention of database capabilities.  (Can it handle loading a database of 11 million games, for example?)

Since there are numerous chess GUIs available for download, most of which are free (WinBoard, Scid vs PC, etc.) I'll pass.  But thanks.

Thank you for your feedback!  The application is suitable for players who want a simple game with a good design that 'just works'.  Custom engines are not supported at the moment.

Yes, it is Windows 7 compatible.
