ChessY!: A Yahoo! chess game history reviewer

I wrote this java appliction so I could visually review the game histories that you can email to yourself at the end of a Yahoo! online chess  game.

Screenshot:


It is a Swing Java application so you need the Java2 Runtime Environment installed. to run it. You may already have this on your computer, if not you can download it from Sun for free.

Download the ChessY! application and source code here: chessy-1.0.zip

Unzip the file and read the README.txt and LICENSE.txt files.

Quick Start:

  1. cd into the chessy directory after you unzip
  2. save your game history to a file without the email stuff, like this: game.txt.
  3. type java -jar dist/ChessY.jar game.txt

You don't have to specify the game.txt file on the command line, you can also use the File menu to load a txt file or bring up an input dialog where you can paste in the text from a game.
