The important thing to remember about GNU Chess when desired for the Chesstool interface is the syntax for its commands are identical to what you see with /usr/games/chess (the standard Unix chess program). A quick check that the gnuchess will work is: gnuchess Chess <== should say this on entry e2e4 <== type in a move, pawn-to-king-4 1. ... c7c5 <=== should see this back (or whatever reply) Nothing else should be on the screen. No clear-screen, no statistics, just very plain like /usr/games/chess. If you don't see this, trace back through and see why. Run a debugger and find out. Although you receive full source, when you investigate these things even a little more, you'll often find the solution. Sorry to lecture! Stuart
