This takes you to a dialog in which you can change all the settings of the 3D graphics
board.

3D board – Settings
3D Se t t ings (bot t om le ft of t he 3D boa rd w indow )

This produces a dialog in which you can select one of many 3D designs and then
optimize it for your screen and graphics card.

Here is a short description of what some of the main categories are. Note that you
may find additional boards in your Settings dialog, especially after major updates.
Fritz Room – this is a classical Spanish chess room, with a table, chairs, pictures,
bookshelves, etc. You can use the 3D control functions to explore the room, or zoom
into the board and analog clock to play a game of chess.
Glass, wood, marble, metal, modern, silver, simple, classic, Prague – these are
chessboard and piece sets in various materials, designs and styles. Some are in very
high detail and can take your graphics card to its limits. But you can also generate
spectacular chessboard pictures using the "Screenshot" function at the bottom of the
window.
Symbol boards have very flat symbol pieces that are used with the board in an
upright position, much like the graphic 2D board, except that the symbols have clear
3D forms.
