Conditions of Free Use

The three main uses are Zillions of Games, Web pages (including online PBM servers), and standalone software. I'll begin with general conditions that apply to any use, then follow up with specific conditions for specific kinds of use.

5. The colors used for the spaces of the chessboard should contrast with the colors of the pieces.
6. Whenever possible, images should be used for the pieces they are intended to be, as described in this webpage. You may use your discretion in selecting images to use for pieces not mentioned on this page.
