It can use a chess computer, however, to simulate your ;; opponent's moves. This is decided when you choose your opponent. ;; You must, of course, have that chess computer installed. See the ;; top of chess-player.el for more information. ;; ;; To just get a chessboard up, put the following in your .emacs file: ;; ;; (add-to-list 'load-list "") ;; ;; (autoload 'chess "chess" "Play a game of chess" t) ;; ;; Now you can type `M-x chess', and play chess against anyone else in ;; the room with you, without having to install anything more. ;; ;; Once this is working, the next thing to do is to customize ;; `chess-use-modules'. This is a list of functionality modules used ;; by chess.el to provide its functionality. You can enable or ;; disable modules so that Emacs Chess better suites your tastes. ;; Those modules in turn often have configuration variables, and ;; appropriate documentation at the top of the related file. ;; ;; Emacs Chess is designed in a highly modular fashion, using loosely ;; coupled modules that respond to events on the chess board. This ;; makes it very easy for programmers to add their own types of ;; displays, opponents, analysis programs, etc. See the documentation ;; in chess-module.el to learn more. ;; ;; There is no documentation for this program other than what exists ;; in the source files. This is because the source files aim at being ;; self documenting, and as chess is such a simple game, most chess ;; players aren't going to need to know much about this program in ;; particular. ;; ;; However, most people will probably be interested in reading the top ;; of chess-display.el and chess-pgn.el, which describe the user ;; interface commands available in each of those buffer types. ;;; Code: (require 'chess-game) (require 'chess-display) (require 'chess-engine) (require 'chess-database) (require 'chess-file) (defgroup chess nil "An Emacs chess playing program." :group 'games) (defconst chess-version "2.0a8" "The version of the Emacs chess program.")
