* **Extremely Lightweight** — Built with Python and only the built-in Tkinter GUI library.
* **Cross-Platform** — Works on **Windows**, **macOS**, and **Linux**.
* **Multiple Play Modes** (requires external engine):
  + Player vs AI
  + AI vs AI
  + AI move suggestions
* **Easy Navigation** — Easily switch between the main line and AI-generated variations.
* **Powerful Game Editor** — Create and edit your own scenarios.
* **Compatible with strong engines** — Supports **Fairy-Stockfish** and **Pikafish** (you must download the engine + neural network separately).
