Bug#95566: ITP: eboard -- eboard: A GUI chess program; competition for xboard
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2001-04-27
Severity: wishlist
So I happened to look on Freshmeat and found this very nice-looking program
called eBoard. It's a chess-playing program similar to xboard, and seems to
be under active development. I have to admit that I haven't played much
using it, and it seems to be very alpha at the moment; however, I like several
things they seem to be doing, especially UI-wise.
Hopefully, if it continues to develop, this will provide a nice alternative
to xboard and bring some more life to the world of GUI UNIX chess programs
(which AFAIK is currently limited to "xboard or gnome-chess")
Oh yeah, it's GPLed, the author is Felipe Bergo - bergo@seul.org, and
the upstream Web page is http://eboard.sourceforge.net.

PS - anyone know anything about the status of chessd? Having that in
the distribution would be nice.
