Chess is a two-player strategy board game. GNOME Chess is a 2D/3D chess game, where games can be played between a combination of human and computer players. GNOME Chess detects known third party chess engines for computer players. The game was originally developed by Robert Ancell, now the game is included in gnome-games.
GNOME Chess is written in Python and uses GTK+ and Cairo to render the chess board. 3D support is optionally available using OpenGl, using the Python OpenGL and GtkGLExt libraries. As with most modern 3D programs hardware acceleration is recommended but it should run OK in software. GNOME Chess is bundled with GNU Chess as the default chess AI. GNOME Chess can be played in network mode against other players on the Internet.
国际象棋的棋盘是正方形的,有64个格子颜色相互交替。每一方有16个棋子:一个王、一个后、两个车、两个马、两个象和8个兵。一方控制白棋另一方控制黑棋,白棋一方先走,双方轮流走棋,当移动时“吃掉”了对方的棋子,就要把它从棋盘上拿走。获胜的条件是把对方的王将死,这时候的王正在被攻击且无处可逃。这个游戏一发明,就形成了广泛的战术策略。
现代游戏从十五世纪后半叶欧洲南部类似游戏发展而来,更古老的游戏起源于亚洲。国际象棋是一个世界范围内最流行的棋类之一。传统的竞技比赛开始于十六世纪,第一个世界冠军,维尔赫姆.斯坦尼茨在1886年获得冠军头衔,弗拉基米尔·鲍里索维奇·克拉姆尼克获得第14届世界冠军。还有一个每两年一次的世界性比赛称作国际象棋奥林匹克。自从20世纪以来,两个国际组织,世界国际象棋联合会和国际象棋国际通信赛协会组织和举办了顶级比赛和通信赛。
早期的电脑专家想创建一个国际象棋游戏机,现在国际象棋在电脑程序中已经深入开发。1997年,一场人机大战在加里·卡斯帕罗夫和 IBM 超级电脑“深蓝”对弈,证明电脑甚至可以击败最强大的人类棋手。
