The current version is gnuchess-4.0.pl75 (July 1995). The only virtues of the 1988 version are that the 1995 version is 22 times as large (mainly for the opening book) and harder to defeat. If gnu/chess/Xchess is counted in the sizes, then the 1995 version is only 11 times as large, but the X part of gnuchess was long ago split into the xboard distribution and xboard is already in ports although the version there is already 3 patchlevels old.
