CHESS(6) UNIX Programmer's Manual CHESS(6) NAME 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 /usr/games/lib/book opening `book' 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. BUGS Pawns may be promoted only to queens. Printed 11/26/99 1
