- It's an excellent partner to spend some time playing draughts with.

Built-in program engine has a strong master level on Russian/Brasilian/Pool draughts and average level on English/Italian/International.

Aurora Borealis 3.0 engine is a silver medallist of Draughts Programs Europe Championship - Moscow, 2007

However, you may also use for play and analysis purposes free external draughts engines:

• 'KingsRow' by Ed Gilbert (English and Italian draughts)
• 'Kallisto' by Igor Korshunov (Russian, Brazilian draughts and American Pool)

Using "Aurora Borealis" and electronic draughts board (available for both 64 and 100 boards) you can play, enter, analyse games even without resorting to the keyboard or mouse! (Note! Electronic draughts board is not a part of "Aurora Borealis professional" kit and is for sale by Shahcom company.)
