gives the start and destination squares of the move. It is more easily understood by
beginners, and it is automatically set if you specify that you are an beginner when
you install the program. In short algebraic the start square is not given if the move
is unambiguous.

Here you can set a number of parameters relating to the games.
Resign: "Late" means that the program will have to see three times in a row an
evaluation of 6.5 pawn units or worse for itself before it throws in the towel. "Early"
means it has to see minus 4.8 three times. "Never" means exactly that. Note that the
program will not resign if it sees that it's being mated. Why spoil the fun?
