gnome-chess - graphical user interface for playing chess

SYNOPSIS

gnome-chess [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

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.

--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.
