Aquarium

a sophisticated, commercial Windows GUI by ChessOK, supporting UCI and WinBoard engines, developed by Victor Zakharov and Vladimir Makhnychev. Aquarium is based on the fluent design as introduced by Microsoft [|Office 2007], featuring a [|ribbon], which is a set of [|toolbars] placed on [|tabs]. Beside the ribbon, the main window is tiled by a navigation window with multiple [|panes] to switch modes and documents, and a bigger working area with various views on that documents, that is game databases, generated game lists and move variation trees as result of database queries, and a single chess game, optional with variation trees and notations. In game playing or analyzing mode, the working area is dominated by a board view associated with [|dockable] and [|stackable] notation-, multiple column tree-, header-, analysis- and information windows. First released as [|aquarium] for the fish dubbed Rybka, the Aquarium GUI is also bundled with Houdini. || toc =Database= Aquarium has its own proprietary database format, and further supports the format of its stable mate Chess Assistant, Portable Game Notation and Extended Position Description. It can read, query and import ChessBase CBH-Format.
