gnome-chess 0.4.0

gnome-chess is chess game, a graphical user interface for playing chess.

It works with chess programs and chess servers - it is also a PGN viewer. For chess programs, it works best with the chess engine crafty (ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt) but most features should also work with GNU Chess (ftp://ftp.gnu.org).

You can use the "first chess program" option to choose the computer engine you want to play against.

E.g. try "gnome-chess --fcp crafty" or "gnome-chess --fcp gnuchessx"

You can use the --ics* options to choose the server and pick user name and passwords.

E.g. try "gnome-chess --ics --icshost freechess.org"
