I was wondering if there was a version of chess available on Unix that would
allow two players to play each other from seperate terminals? (a la the Unix
version of hearts).  It would also be nice if there was a chess game that
allowed you to play bug house (Four player partner speed chess where pieces
captured by your partner, who plays the opposite color from you on a
seperate board, can be used on your board (taking one move to place the
peice)).  Prefer a response in e-mail at dwight@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu  Thanks
for your time.
