Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

The gnuchess package contains the GNU chess program. By default, GNU chess uses a curses text-based interface. Alternatively, GNU chess can be used in conjunction with the xboard user interface and the X Window System for play using a graphical chess board. Install the gnuchess package if you would like to play chess on your computer. If you'd like to use a graphical interface with GNU chess, you'll also need to install the xboard package and the X Window System.
