GNU Chess lets most modern computers play a full game of chess. It has a plain terminal interface but supports visual interfaces such as X-Windows "xboard" and Windows-for-PC "winboard" as well as a full 3-dimensional wooden chess-board protocol for the Novag Chess board enabling one to be relatively free of the computer itself. See the distribution README for explanation.

Gnu chess is great fun. I play it at work. It seems to be smarter on faster machines - is this true? It also always plays the same game if you repeat the same moves from the previous time. It would be good to vary and thus avoid identical games. regards Patrick
Very strong chess program
Yes, the program is "smarter" on faster machines since it takes less time to process potential moves. You can counter this by greatly reducing the amount of time per move allowed. I currently have mine set to 800 moves per minute but I still lose most games.
I have been playing for almost 7 years now and I should admit that a player should be lucky if once in a blue moon can win a game. I may have played no less than 5000 games or so. I have won twice and had one draw. ARTIN
