chess - the game of chess  

SYNOPSIS

/usr/games/chess  

DESCRIPTION

Chess is a computer program that plays class D chess. Moves may be given either in standard (descriptive) notation or in algebraic notation. The symbol `+' is used to specify check; `o-o' and `o-o-o' specify castling. To play black, type `first'; to print the board, type an empty line.

Each move is echoed in the appropriate notation followed by the program's reply.  

FILES

DIAGNOSTICS

The most cryptic diagnostic is `eh?' which means that the input was syntactically incorrect.  

WARNING

Over-use of this program will cause it to go away.
