GNU Chess is a computer program which plays the Game of Chess. 

Also called The Royal Game, Chess is a game of tactics 
and to a lesser extent strategy, shrouded in antiquity. 
It is considered the intellectual game par excellance, 
outside of the Far East but has found expression there 
as well in Shogi of Japan and Chinese Chess of China. 

Invented in India and popularized in ancient Persia, 
the Game of Chess spread worldwide with the British Empire 
and was a favorite game of the English Kings and their courts.

GNU Chess runs on GNU/Linux, Unix, Windows NT/95/98/etc
and supports full GUI's and a unique non-GUI interface.
At only 11,000 lines of code, GNU Chess is 1/4 the 
length of Crafty.

This version of GNU Chess shares no code with previous versions.

GNU Chess 5.00 is written so as to try to clearly enable 
and further the computer science student's understanding 
and appreciation of the domain of computer chess and those
concepts through a clear simplification of code and data 
structures, while still allowing a good challenge for playing.

Now available, find it at:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/chess/chess.html

and

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/chess-5.00.tar.gz

GNU Chess has scored at approximately the same playing levels on the
Free Internet Chess Server as its predecessors, where it has played
over 
9000 games in this version alone. Due to variability in hardware and 
availability of test platforms, as well as simply available free time,

an exact comparison is not possible and probably not productive.

Interfaces supported by this version include:

	3-dimensional wooden playing board
	plain text ascii
	Winboard (PC GUI)
	Xboard (UNIX GUI)

The Authors of GNU Chess v5.00 are Chua Kong-Sian and Stuart Cracraft.

All new development and support will be done with GNU Chess version
5.00 and
its successors only. No support will be provided for prior versions
going forward.
