xboard-4.5.3a |
An X-Windows interface for chess program engines |
| Description: |
Provides varying sizes of chess board with a click-and-drag user interface to make moves. Two different chess programs can also play against each other with xboard as an arbitrator. Requires a copy of Crafty (one is available from this category) and the xpm library to work. This release now fully uses xpm to display outlined pieces and includes optional sound effects. It also comes with a Perl script to play chess using a combination of xboard and e-mail. |
