Rigid chess is designed to be used with a mouse. The controller experience for moving pieces was deemed too clunky and removed.
The minimum recommended machine specifications for an acceptable user experience are as follows:
Operating System: Windows 7, SP1 or higher.
Processor: Pentium 2, 32 bit, single core CPU or above.
Rigid Chess is equipped with a calculation intensive Chess Engine designed to leverage multi-threaded processors, if available. Thus a 64 bit multi-core processor capable of supporting multi-threaded processing is highly reccomended.
Memory (RAM): 4Mb. More is better!
