Hi there, The programs required for chess are gnuchess and xboard. The first is a command line program, the second is the graphics i.e. the chessboard. In my Mandrake-9.2 distro the packages are gnuchess and xboard. They are not part of the kde system. I would recommend going to site like rpmfind to locate the above for the distro that you are using. Hope this helps Basil Fowler ___________________________________________________ .
