- GNU Chess is a communal chess program. Contributors donate their
- time and effort in order to make it a stronger, better, sleeker program.
- Contributions take many forms: interfaces to high-resolution displays,
- opening book treatises, speedups of the underlying algorithms, additions
- of extra heuristics. These contributions are then distributed to the
- large user-base so that all may enjoy the fruits of our labor. The
- original and continuing purpose of this project is to permanently end
- the rampant hoarding of computer chess software that has been the
- case for the past 20 years.
