Material
Select the material of your board. ChessBase comes with the wooden piece set
"Modern". If you have a reasonably fast machine and graphics adapter, try to use the
highest resolution (Texture resolution) for best quality.
Effects
Set the shadow type. Recommended is Rendered as compromise between speed and
aesthetics.
You can experiment with the different reflections, though usually the default values
yield best results.
The slider Animation determines the speed of animated moves. If you have a strong
graphics card, try moving the slider to the right.
Geometry and Board
Square Size determines the ratio between board and king height. A small square size
creates a somewhat crowded board.
Knight controls the orientation of the knight's heads.
Gamma
The gamma values control the color intensity of your monitor. This is only visible in
Extreme 3D Mode.
Info
Shows technical information about your graphics adapter. This is important if you
experience problems with your 3D board. You can measure the performance of your
hardware. A decent card should yield a frame rate of 25 frames per second with the
Modern board.
