GNU Chess was born on October 18, 1986.
It is approximately 8 1/2 years old by this measure..

However, John Stanback's major donation of GNU Chess II on May 11,
1987 had already been worked upon for a period of approximately 7 years
if memory serves.

Updating the age then would put GNU Chess at approximately 15 years old.
