Requirements:

1. Requires Java 1.7 or later
2. Can be used with any winboard compliant interface
3. I suggest using this with Arena 3.0

Installation Instructions:

1. Download Arena 3.0 from the arena website and install it
2. Unzip ChessNoviceR0.3.zip
3. Launch Arena
4. Go to Engines-->Install New Engine
5. Browse and select ChessNoviceR0.03.bat

Playing a game:

1. Goto Engines-->Load Engine
2. Select Engine1 radio button and the Engine you want to play with and click Ok.
3. Goto Levels-->Adjust and select "Time per move" radio button. Type in 47 seconds and click ok
4. Goto File-->New Rated Game and then choose the color to play. With this setup you should be 
	play a 45 second/move game with ChessNovice

Notes:

- More time controls will be added later. If you are beginner or intermediate player you will find this 
	engine tough to beat.
- The engine plays the end game phase very badly.
- If you face issues loading the engine try removing all versions of java and then installing the latest 1.7.x version.

Changes:

- slightly stronger than ChessNoviceR0.2
