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
and is not required; `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 has been known to cause it to go
away.
BUGS
