Dreamchess is a XBoard-compatible 3D chess interface and engine.

DreamChess is an open source chess game. Our primary target platforms are Linux, Windows, Dreamcast and BeOS. DreamChess features 3D OpenGL graphics and provides various chess board sets, ranging from classic wooden to flat figurines.

A moderately strong chess engine is included: Dreamer. However, should this engine be too weak for you, then you can use any other XBoard-compatible chess engine, including the popular Crafty and GNU Chess.

Other features include on-screen move lists using SAN notation, undo functionality, and savegames in PGN format. In future releases we plan to add support for time controls, audio, network play, more visual effects such as reflections and shadows, and 3D animated pieces.

What's New in This Release:
3D OpenGL user interface (XBoard-compatible).
A variety of chess sets, including classic wooden and flat figurines.
Moderately strong chess engine.
Savegames in PGN format.
