Introduction

glChess is a 3D chess game for Unix. Players can either be human, artificial intelligence (crafty) or spectators. Network play is supported.

glChess is written in C and uses OpenGL to do the graphics. The interface is done in GTK+, with the GL handled by GtkGLExt. As with most modern 3D programs hardware acceleration is recommended but it should run OK in software.

Unfortunately there is only sporadic development on glChess. Download and enjoy and send feedback/bugs to us but only expect limited support. If you are interested in developing glChess please contact us.
