Description

For Linux/X11 systems. It is noted that the game has the option of using a 3D interface if OpenGL and the appropriate Python-OpenGL libraries are installed. But the non-3D version is still well suited to low-end systems.

This game can use the following chess engines:
GNUChess, Sjeng, Amy, Crafty, Faile, Phalanx, Glaurung, HoiChess, Diablo, BBChess, Fruit, Amundsen, Shredder, Toga II, and Boo's Chess Engine.
