This is the archived version of gnuchess 3.1 along with a chess
game analysis program based on gnuchess.

The analysis program is called gnuan.exe which uses gnuchess to analyse
a whole chess game.  It will take a file with the game in algebraic
notation, and analyse each move made, tell what it would have done,
and give the score it would have given the position after its move.
The max depth and max time per move can be set for different levels
of analysis.

    Gnuchess is a public domain chess program from the Free Software
Foundation.  Gnuchess plays a strong game.  It appears to be better
than my Novag Super VIP chess computer which was rated between 1950
and 2000 by Computer Chess Reports.  Gnuchess was running on an 11
Mhz PC at the time. The human interface is not as good as most chess
programs, since the output is ASCII graphics.  The gnuchess program
is called gnuchess.exe, and it reads gnuchess.boo for its opening
book.

    It comes with source, executables, and makefiles for a variety
of compilers.  The source code is all in C.  It is quite portable
code, and should be compilable on other machines with only minor
modifications.
