glChess

a free, Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant open source chess GUI released under the GNU General Public License, to run under the [|GTK+] [|GNOME] desktop environments on Linux and UNIX derivatives. The development of glChess started in 2000 by a team around Robert Ancell - early versions since **0.8** in 2005 were written in C, in 2006 completely rewritten in Python , optionally featuring a 3D Graphics Board using GtkGLExt and [|OpenGL] both including Python [|bindings]. glChess became part of Gnome Games and was forerunner of GNOME Chess, which was first released by Robert Ancell in November 2012 as split from Gnome Games, apparently ported from Python to [|Vala], keeping glChess as independent development branch. || toc =See also=
