Greetings...I just FTP'ed gnuchess from wuarchive, and am quite impressed.
Although I haven't the programming skill to comprehend the intricacies of
it archetecture, I can certainly appreciate the power of this chess
engine.  The interface however, although functional, leaves a little to
be desired.

I understand that it is designed to interface with Sun's Chesstool, and that
xboard is annother interface for the Sun, but being a PC-peon, I haven't
access to these :-(

I wonder if anybody knows of a good graphics interface (preferably with
mouse support) which has been written for PCs.  I'm afraid that writing
such a thing is far beyond my abilities as a programmer.

Cheers
