PyChess
PyChess is a Gnome
inspired chess client written in Python.
The goal of PyChess, is to provide a fully featured, nice
looking, easy
to use chess client for the gnome-desktop.
The client should be usable both to those totally new to
chess, those
who want to play an occasional game, and those who wants to use the
computer to further enhance their play.
