I am glad to announce version 6.0.1 of GNU Chess.

GNU Chess is a chess-playing program. It can be used to play
chess against the computer on a terminal or, more commonly, as
a chess engine for graphical chess frontends.

This is primarily a bug fix release, addressing the following items:

- 'solveepd' could make the program crash for long analysis time.
- Allow kibitz for the 'solve' command.
- Minor modifications in INSTALL.
- If gnuchess.ini is not found, report error before prompt.
- Actually open the book after 'book on'.
- 'book add' crashed on some platforms due to a wrong calculation of
- the book file name length.
- Remove some unused code.

The home page can be found at the usual location:
  http://www.gnu.org/software/chess/

You can get the compressed sources from a nearby mirror:
  http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/chess/gnuchess-6.0.1.tar.gz

If automatic redirection fails, the list of mirrors is at:
  http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

Or if need be you can use the main GNU ftp server:
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/chess/gnuchess-6.0.1.tar.gz

The development source can be downloaded from the Subversion
repository at Savannah:
  http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/chess

Bug reports, your kind contributions and any feedback are welcome.
You can contact us on the following address: bug-gnu-chess@gnu.org
