Knights - A chess interface (GUI) for the Trinity Desktop Environment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Knights is a graphical chess interface designed to work with TDE.
|
|
It's designed to be both friendly to new chess players and
|
|
functional for Grand Masters. Knights is called a chess "interface"
|
|
because it does not come with it's own computer players. There are
|
|
several computer players ( Chess Engines ) already. Unfortunatly, most
|
|
chess engines do not include fully featured GUIs. Instead, they rely on
|
|
other programs ( like Knights ) to fill the gap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- What Chess Engines can work with Knights?
|
|
|
|
Knights should support any engine which uses the XBoard protocol
|
|
developed by Tim Mann. Knights will also offer it's own protocol for
|
|
future use. To date, the following chess engines have been confirmed
|
|
to work with. If you know of another, please let we know so we can
|
|
update this list.
