DESCRIPTION

12       Chess  is  a  computer  program that plays class D chess.  Moves may be
13       given either in standard (descriptive) notation or in  algebraic  nota‐
14       tion.  The symbol `+' is used to specify check; `o-o' and `o-o-o' spec‐
15       ify castling.  To play black, type `first'; to print the board, type an
16       empty line.

18       Each  move  is  echoed in the appropriate notation followed by the pro‐
19       gram's reply.
