You may be interested in trying eboard [1] which is available in Debian and mostly complies with your requirements: * no AI (but can also use external chess engines if you want to play against the computer) * simple, but good appearance and theme-able (pieces and board). * allows direct (no server in the middle) p2p games (and also supports playing using internet chess servers). regards, [1] http://eboard.sourceforge.net/ -- Ricardo Mones Lastra - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Centro de Inteligencia Artificial, Universidad de Oviedo en Gijon 33271 Asturias, SPAIN. - http://www.aic.uniovi.es/mones
