The primary purpose of eboard is serving as interface to FICS, but also allows you to play against a chess program, analyze saved games, and play with other eboard user on the Internet.

eboard provides many features other interfaces lack, like a good looking, configurable interface, multiple board views, resizeable board (without restarting), seek table, text input separated from the output, input history (bash-like), scripting, scroll lock, and many others.

  • 09:03:39 you caught me.
  • 15:27:36 Thanks, berserk, added the game & screens
  • 16:20:04 BTW, one more interesting Kickstarter project: [url]
  • 16:20:29 Linux version requires 100K donations
  • 16:21:25 not that much for a good looking RPG in my opinion
  • 10:56:58 Upd: authors said that Linux port will be released anyway, even if they don't gather 100K, so feel free to support it
