Paul Whitehead Teaches Chess including Coffeehouse Chess Monster (Chess Tutorial/Player) Compatibility: 64K Apple II series Requirements: One disk drive; printer optional Before computers, would-be wood pushers used to learn how to play chess via instruction at the hands of a chess player and/or by studying 'how to' books.
Hence the proliferation of such titles as "Learn Chess Fast", "They Laughed When I Sat Down to Play", etc. The advantages of the guru-plus-books approach are obvious, since learning the game involves both learning how the pieces move and a chance to maneuver them against an active opponent.
Fortunately for those long on desire but short on gurus, Paul Whitehead and his pal, the Coffeehouse Chess Monster, are ready to lead you into the wonderful world of forks, pins, and open files.

The engine is the "brain" that does all of the chess calculation, either playing a game against you or analyzing a game that's already been played.
In short, the engine is the part of the program that actually plays chess, while the GUI is the display on your screen -- the interface that lets you interact with the chess engine itself.
