DESCRIPTION

    GNU Chess is a well known chess program written in C and designed
    to be portable. Depending on the hardware it can get very strong.
    (About 2200-2300 ELO on a DEC Alpha, about 1800 on an Amiga 1200)

    There are different versions available:

	- A simple ASCII version, printing the complete chessboard
	  with ASCII characters after each move.
	- A Curses version, similar to the ASCII version, but with the
	  ability to move the cursor.
	- An AmyBoard client; AmyBoard is a frontend, which allows you
	  to play with the mouse on a beautiful chessboard.

    Some tools for analyzing a chess game and postsript output are
    included.
