Chess is a computer program that plays class D chess. Moves may be

tion. The symbol `+' is used to specify check; `o-o' and `o-o-o' spec‐
ify castling. To play black, type `first'; to print the board, type an
empty line.
Each move is echoed in the appropriate notation followed by the pro‐
gram's reply.
