Some time back I downloaded gnuish chess for PCs and tried it.  It is
an impresive piece of work, but I had expected to see a fancy diplay of
the board and chess pieces rather than simply alphanumerics to describe
the pieces on the board.  Is there a fancy version available?  Although
I don't use Windows 3 (having found Win-2 so lousy) people tell me I
should try it, so if a version is only available for Win-3 environment,
I'd settle for that.
Tnx.

  I have NOT lost my mind - I'm sure it's backed up on tape somewhere.

Yes there is a gnu chess for windows with graphics display (not a great
display but OK).

It is available on sol.deakin.oz.au and on cica.cica.indiana.edu.

Here is the readme.txt file from it :

==============================================================================
Aug 26 1990:

Here is version 1.0 of my MicroSoft Windows port of GNUCHESS 3.1.  This is
the alpha test version.  I would like people to try it out and if you find
a repeatable bug please E-mail what causes it and what happens.  In a month
or so I will post the source. I need to clean up any major bugs and add the 
GNU copywrite notice.


release notes:
        1) I have only tested this under windows 3.0 386 enhanced mode.
        2) It requires at least 282k of memory.
        3) I think it will fit on a EGA screen.
        4) Most of the GNUCHESS commands are implemented.
        5) When computer is playing itself abort by clicking on any square.
           The last move made will most likely show "draw" or "mate", ignore
           this message.  You may have to remove the last move.
        6) To have the computer think while it is your turn, select "easy"
           from the menu.  Clicking on square to take your turn will abort
           the look ahead.
        7) There is no help file.
        8) The file gnuchess.boo must be in the same directory as 
           the executable.
        9) The program create a file "chess.ini" in your windows directory to
           store various settings.  Currently only the screen colors.
