GNU Chess release 6.0.1
Antonio Ceballos
GNU Chess is a chess-playing program. It can be used to play
chess against the computer on a terminal or, more commonly, as
a chess engine for graphical chess frontends.
This is primarily a bug fix release, addressing the following items:
- 'solveepd' could make the program crash for long analysis time.
- Allow kibitz for the 'solve' command.
- Minor modifications in INSTALL.
- If gnuchess.ini is not found, report error before prompt.
- Actually open the book after 'book on'.
- 'book add' crashed on some platforms due to a wrong calculation of
- the book file name length.
- Remove some unused code.
