| chess.el is an Emacs Lisp library and several clients on top of the |
| underlying library functionality for performing various activities related |
| to the game of chess. |
| |
| You can play against an external chess program such as gnuchess, crafty, |
| phalanx or sjeng. All of them are publically available, and chess.el will |
| automatically detect which one you have installed, provided they have |
| standard executable program names, and are in a located in a directory which |
| is part of the PATH. See the customisable variable `chess-default-engine'. |
| |
| You can also play against another human or computer over the internet |
| (through a direct Emacs-to-Emacs connection, or on one of the Internet Chess |
| Servers like freechess.org or chessclub.com), or even against a very simple |
| chess thinking module implemented in pure Emacs Lisp. |
| |
| chess.el also provides a mode for editing Portable Game Notation (PGN) files. |
