While setting up my web server, I wanted to add some interactive games to play, to keep people entertained rather than just supply dry information. I saw lots of tic-tac-toe, and othello, and mastermind, but no chess! Odd, considering that gnuchess is freely available. I checked Yahoo, and found only telnet servers, and no web servers. Well, a few nights of hacking, and I had it working. WebChess, based on gnuchess. I discovered that the "think on the player's time" option got confused when stdin was redirected (patched) and the saved game doesn't save the clock and timing information (I reset that for each move), but it basically worked as-is. Visitors are welcome, it's at http://www.delorie.com/game-room/chess/ Comments and suggestions would be appreciated, since I'm not much of a chess player I can't play enough game variations to test everything.
