Yes there are several chess games on your mandrake cd.
To find them type
locate *chess
One of them is gnome-chess. If you do not see it in the list that locate
gave you then do this:
1) put your mandrake cd in the cdrom
2) su
3) enter password
4) rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/gnome-chesss-0.2.3-1mdk.i586.rpm
5) if this does not install but gives you a list of required
dependencies then
5a) rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/gnome*rpm
rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/switchdesk*rpm
6) Then you can play chess with the mouse. If you have any problems
using chess under kde
then use the switchdesk-kde command and select gnome. The logout and
login and voila you can
play chess in gnome until you are bored or so frustrated that you want
to boot the machine out the window. This is always the best time to
stop, just BEFORE you kick that sucker out the window.
Have fun
Tom
PS
If you need any help with this over the weekend, just query the mandrake
expert list.
