💖 CHESS(6) — the Games Manual glow-up 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Games Manual section, entry CHESS(6) — yes it's literally all caps, it's giving vintage, we love her 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Chess — Chess for GNUstep, ported from OPENSTEP. that's the whole vibe. a chess game. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Chess

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. no flags, no args, no drama. just Chess and go 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page documents, briefly, the Chess command. lowkey a little intro, highkey all you need to get started 🫶

Chess is a chess application featuring an easy interface. like, the interface? easy. we love an accessible queen ✨

and because it's part of GAP, like most applications in GAP, it tries to work on both GNUstep and macOS. not one, not the other — both. and it retains the utmost possible similarity between the two versions, so you can bounce between the two environments without your brain short-circuiting 😭 fr fr, that's the goal: ease of working in both environments.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • GNUstep(7). — go read that one too, bestie, it's the neighbor 🦋
