Bug#166259: ITP: lasker -- FICS-like free internet chess server
On Thu, Oct 24, 2002 at 10:31:50PM -0400, Lukas Geyer <lukas@debian.org> was heard to say:
> Currently I am still sorting out some license and security issues. In

> tournaments. Unfortunately, that code has no license at all (and was

Is that the same thing the chessd project mentions?
There's been requests for a copy of lasker, which isn't much more than a
repackaged GICS. Here it is: lasker 1.0 We really don't have the
manpower to give much support for this, unfortunately- we've got our
attention on working with our totally from-scratch project, fischer. You
can try asking the list, but don't get mad if we can't give you detailed
help.
