This part of the screen represents the chess position and allows the player to make moves. Point and click on the piece to be moved, point and click on the destination square. You can also drag&drop the pieces.
This panel displays move history for the current game. The moves are written in Algebraic Move Notation. The panel also allows to browse the history. Simply click on a move on the list and the position will be shown on the chessboard. After selecting a position, it is possible to play it: if it is player's turn then the player can simply make a move, if it is computer's turn then click the Continue here button in order for the computer to continue from the selected position. History browsing is also allowed during computer's move computation, the game will return to the position that the computer calculates as soon as the computation is finished.
In games without time limit, the clock shows the time the player or the computer takes to make a move (i.e., time elapsed since the last move). In timed games* the clock shows the remaining time the players have in the game.

The computer displays the evaluation of the current position as a byproduct of move calculations (in the units of centipawns, 1 pawn = 100 points). The panel shows the evaluation of each move that the computer selects as a good candidate. The figures can be used to asses the status of the game. Positive numbers indicate white's advantage, negative numbers indicate black's advantage.
This area shows computation progress and allows stopping the computation by clicking the Stop button. A stopped computation can be resumed by clicking the Continue here button.
This panel shows pieces that have been captured during the game. Taken pieces can be shown or hidden via the View menu.
