A new version of GNU Chess is available for Windows users.

It is on the Internet at prep.ai.mit.edu, available via
anonymous ftp.

This version is named gnuchessPC-4.12.zip and the size is
448,542 bytes.
It is in PKZIP/WINZIP format with a hierarchical non-flat
directory structure.

Improvements:

- The program is now compiled with Watcom C, with speed
optimisations for
  Pentium processors. The file CW3215.DLL is no longer
required.

- Fixed a bug in the loading of saved games which caused
pieces to disappear
  after castling in the Review Game function. (This bug is
in the original
  character mode version of GNU Chess, where its effect is
much less likely
  to be noticed).

- Fixed a bug which caused the next move to go to the other
player if an
  illegal move was selected in Force mode.

- The clocks stop when checkmate is reached. "Checkmate" is
displayed instead
  of whose move it is.

- The hint is cleared after Undo (to prevent an illegal
move being displayed).

- The filename for the List function can be chosen.

- The clocks are initialised when the game is run.

- The dialog backgrounds are now colored according to the
Windows color
  scheme set in the Color control panel.

This version is designed and implemented by Conor McCarthy
with
acknowledgement to the prior art of Daryl Baker based on
original
work by John Stanback, under the auspices of the Free
Software
Foundation.
