Optimize Real 3D Board
To use the real 3D Board, you need a fast graphics adapter which supports 3D
rendering in hardware. It should be compatible with DirectX 9 or better. If there are
any problems, please try to download recent driver software for your graphics adapter.
Check the Microsoft Windows Update page or the web site of the hardware
manufacturer.
Important: Usually only the latest drivers of a graphics adapter bring optimal
performance.
If you do not use the real 3D board, you do not need DirectX.

Playing on a correspondence chess server allows games with very long time controls
(several days per move). Usually the players only log into the server when they want
to make a move.
ChessBase offers an interface to the ICCF c orre sponde nc e c he ss se rv e r. The
International Correspondence Chess Federation (ICCF) ist the world’s
correspondence chess organisation, and it organises several international
correspondence chess tournaments.
The principle is very simple and uncomplicated. After entering a move the playing time
of the opponent is activated. The opponent is informed that a move has been made,
and it is also possible to send personal messages.
