About Boxwood

A real chess set, beautifully made: turned boxwood and ebony pieces on an inlaid walnut and maple board, in a study by the fire. Play the computer from beginner to strong, or pass and play with a friend. Solve the Daily puzzle, train with real tactics from real games, and review every game with an evaluation bar and PGN. Every rule is there: castling, en passant, promotion, repetition and the 50-move rule.
