It can be used standalone to > play network chess. Just for the record: It can use crafty as chess engine which uses fewer resources than GNU chess on my machine (at least last time I tried GNU chess it was 4-5 times fewer memory - I removed it for its inability to analyze games so didn't bother with the GNU program anymore and use crafty instead) and allows xboard to be used in analyze mode. I prepared a port for it which is missing the opening books for now (there are three ranging from about 1 MByte to about 60 MByte) and needs a man page to explain how to make ones own copy of them as they get updated due to learning and that a shared copy in /usr/local will hardly allow. It will probably end up in 4 ports with one containing the program and the three opening books separated. If anybody gives me a large harddisk and pays for the phone costs I will try to port the end games databases with it's about 2 GB, too. :-) Stefan.
