Somewhere in your gnuchess documentation you will find reference to this problem and the solution. It's been a while so I can't remember where in particular it is, but this is another case of RTFM. Gnuchess sends out a beep (^G) to the terminal when it is the persons turn to move. This ^G makes chesstool hang. This beep is controlled by a flag and can be turned off when playing without chesstool. The solution to the problem is to make gnuchess default to beep off. The variable to change is beep. Find where it is initialized and set it to beep=0 instead of beep=1. Good Luck. Gil Crouse crouse@eng.umd.edu
