Because it's a group for discussing GNU Chess (and closely related
software, such as xboard).

There are few messages about GNU Chess here because hardly anyone has
anything to say about it.  It hasn't been under active development for
several years, and other free programs, such as Crafty, have surpassed
it.

There are (relatively) many messages about other topics because the
group is unmoderated, like most of Usenet.
