is it possible to buy aquarium without engine ?

I don't think so. Aquarium interface is especially designed to be a perfect complement to the Rybka 3 chess engine.

Hi chess lovers,

Humbly thank all of you for your wonderful compliments.

I worked very hard by creating fine chess piece pics in Inkscape, an open source vector graphics editor. It was a painstaking job and it made me very exhausted and I slept more than 20 hours!!

I repetitively drew the outline of chess pieces so that they looked as close as to Staunton chess piece shapes like ones played in real tournaments. In addition, I carefully pick up right colors for the chess pieces and the board. That means, the colors of the chess pieces and the board must be different but in good harmony pleasing to the eyes. Also, this helps the chess pieces to look salient and thus it likely makes a chess player to overlook less in games.

Take care,
Eran Karu
