NEWS 1865 (23-Nov-06)  ICC Dasher 1.0 Released
We are pleased to announce the general release of ICC Dasher, a new Windows
program for connecting and playing on the Internet Chess Club. It is an
alternative to the popular BlitzIn client. You can download ICC Dasher 1.0
for free from:

There is a lot of cool stuff here, including many things that were on the
wish lists for BlitzIn. Some examples:
* Chess engine for off-line play and examine-mode analysis
* Nice new piece sets
* Settings dialog allowing lots of customization
* Preview of board display options
* Tabbed console
* Popup chat windows
* Tournament interface
* New examine mode markings
* Figurine algebraic notation
* Channels list
* Profile window
* Bughouse buttons
* Contextual help
* A skinned interface
* Menu icons, larger toolbar buttons, and in general, a slicker look
Thank you to everybody who participated in the open beta test.
