- Here is version 1.0 of my MicroSoft Windows port of GNUCHESS 3.1. This is
- the alpha test version. I would like people to try it out and if you find
- a repeatable bug please E-mail what causes it and what happens. In a month
- or so I will post the source. I need to clean up any major bugs and add the
- GNU copywrite notice.

-
- release notes:
- 1) I have only tested this under windows 3.0 386 enhanced mode.
- 2) It requires at least 282k of memory.
- 3) I think it will fit on a EGA screen.
- 4) Most of the GNUCHESS commands are implemented.
- 5) When computer is playing itself abort by clicking on any square.
- The last move made will most likely show "draw" or "mate", ignore
- this message. You may have to remove the last move.
- 6) To have the computer think while it is your turn, select "easy"
- from the menu. Clicking on square to take your turn will abort
- the look ahead.
- 7) There is no help file.
- 8) The file gnuchess.boo must be in the same directory as
- the executable.
- 9) The program create a file "chess.ini" in your windows directory to
- store various settings. Currently only the screen colors.
