Kvetka

Chess is one of the oldest and most widely played board games. Players have 16 pieces at their disposal to move on an 8×8 grid. The main goal is to 'checkmate' the opponent's king by placing it under a threat of capture. Computers excel at making a lot of calculations and anticipating outcomes. However, you cannot remember an entire game from start to end. This is where Kvetka comes in handy.

Kvetka is easy to install and has minimal system requirements. There is also a portable version should you require one. The application supports input from various web pages, such as Chessgames, Chessville, Chessbase, etc. You can play games there and copy the game log to Kvetka. The application enables you to replay a game of chess at your convenience and analyze the moves of your opponent.

What sets this application apart is the fact it enables you to move the pieces during a match and view possible moves. One more interesting feature is that Kvetka uses UCI engines to analyze games. One of the strongest, Stockfish, is distributed with this application.

The application leaves a small footprint and requires little screen area to be displayed. A downside to this software is that you cannot play chess against it, making it more of an analyzing tool rather than a complete kit for chess players.

Kvetka automatically recognizes chess games from various websites. The list is pretty extensive, and its functionality can be further improved with plug-ins. Players can easily implement this program into their chess tools to better their future games.

In conclusion, this software is easy-to-use and provides significant support for various chess websites. It offers a great deal of functionality, and it automatically recognizes games. Players can greatly benefit from its analyzing capabilities and the fact it is free, makes it even more appealing.
