Hi All,

GNU Chess is command line Chess program running on many differents systems
such as UNIX, windows or MacOS. It was started in 1986 by Stuart Cracraft,
who is continuing to develop it with other coders such as Chua Kong Sian,
Stuart Cracraft, Lukas Geyer, Simon Waters and David A. Wheeler.

PSP Gnu Chess use the GNU Chess version 5.07 for the Artificial Intelligence,
and i've added a Graphical User interface.

How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.

What's new is this version ?

- Option to specify search depth (i.e: difficulty)
- Add Undo feature
- Add Book feature, move database is stored in file book.dat.
The file given with this homebrew is the book.dat provided
with gnuchess (but you can replace it by your own)
- Bug fix when you put black on the bottom of the screen,
King and Queen weren't at the right place !
- Bug fix with keys/analog pad (sensitivity was too high)


Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public license,
read COPYING.txt file for more information about it.

You can download it on my blog :

Enjoy,

Zx.

Thank you, zx-81. I have enjoyed the first release a lot, and the features added to this release, especially the first two, will certainly make it even more enjoyable. Also glad to see bugfixes. I'm curious to hear if you have any additional future plans for new things to add?

Thank you again!

Whew, that was a fast but nonetheless heavy improvement on the initial release. Fantastic. Now this gem already has all the important features of any serious chess programm like opening book, different playing strength,...

Wonderful job, thank you very much!
