gnome-chess - graphical user interface for playing chess

gnome-chess is a graphical GNOME frontend for playing chess against the computer or via the Internet. It is also a viable PGN file viewer. To play against the computer, you need an external chess engine, such as GNU Chess, Crafty, or Phalanx.

Apart from the standard GNOME options gnome-chess accepts the following options:

--version

Prints the currently installed version of gnome-chess to the standard output.

--help

Prints a usage summary. --debug=LEVEL Enables some debugging functions, depending on LEVEL.

--fcp=PROGRAM

This option chooses the preferred chess program that will play the computer opponent. If this option is not specified, gnome-chess will choose one.

--ics

If this option is specified, gnome-chess will start in ICS mode, meaning that it will connect to an Internet Chess Server.

--icshost=SERVER

Chooses the ICS server to use.

--icsuser=USERNAME

Sets the user name to use on ICS servers.

--icspass=PASSWORD

Sets the password to use on ICS servers.

--icsport=PORT

Chooses the ICS server's port number to connect to.

--icstelnetprogram=TELNET

Chooses the telnet program to use to connect to an ICS server. This defaults to the standard telnet program.
