Short: GNU Chess frontend and ICS client Author: wiedmann@neckar-alb.de Uploader: wiedmann@neckar-alb.de Version: 330.5 Type: game/board Action: NoStart TITLE AmyBoard VERSION 330.5 (means: xboard-3.3.pl0, Amiga revision 5) AUTHORS Chris and Dan Sears (Original xboard) Tim Mann, mann@pa.dec.com (xboard since version 2.0) Amiga port: Jochen Wiedmann Am Eisteich 9 72555 Metzingen Germany Phone: (0049) +7123 / 14881 Internet: jochen.wiedmann@zdv.uni-tuebingen.de DESCRIPTION AmyBoard is a graphical chessboard, that can serve as a user interface for GNU Chess, for the ICS (Internet Chess Server) and for itself as a PGN (Portable Game Notation) file editor. The original xboard can also be used for electronic mail correspondence chess, but this possibility is not yet integrated into AmyBoard, as this requires cmail, which is a Perl script. As an interface to GNU Chess, AmyBoard lets you play a game against the machine, set up arbitrary positions, force variations, or watch a game between two machines. As an interface to the Internet Chess Server (ICS), AmyBoard lets you play against other ICS users, observe games they are playing, or review games that have recently finished. You can also use AmyBoard as a chessboard to play through games. It will read and write game files and allow you to play through variations manually. You can use it to browse games off the net or review GNU Chess, ICS, and correspondence games you have saved. These features are available at all times; even if you do not have access to GNU Chess or the ICS. CHANGES 322.5: Minor bug fixes 330.5: Incorporated changes from xboard 3.2.pl2 to xboard 3.3.pl0, most of them minor bug fixes SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AmigaOS version 2.0 or later MUI version 2.0 or later (available on Aminet, dev/gui) Installer (available on Aminet, util/misc) To play against GNU Chess you need the gnuchess package (available on Aminet, game/board) To connect to the ICS, you need Internet access, either by - a standard telnet program using stdin/stdout, for example AmiTCP/IP's telnet or - a terminal program using stdin/stdout, for example IPDial (available on Aminet, comm/tcp) AVAILABILITY Aminet, for example ftp://ftp.netnet.net/pub/aminet ftp://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/aminet Internet chess servers, for example ftp://chess.onenet.net/pub/chess/Amiga Distribution consists of three archives: AmyBoard-330.5bin.lha Binary distribution AmyBoard-330.5src.lha Original xboard-3.3.pl0 sources AmyBoard-330.5diffs.lha Amiga sources and a pathfile DISTRIBUTABILITY Freely distributable, most parts under GNU General Public License (except for DEC's interest) AmyBoard is Copyright 1991 Digital Equipment Corporation, Maynard, Massachusetts (Original xboard) Copyright 1992-1995 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
