However, I do not really know how to proceed. It seems to me that contrib/steve/root/sys/src/cmd/mkmk/9port/gnu/chess is just some script whose use is one big unknown to me. Its purpose seems to be to create a mkfile and is probably intended to be run in a directory with gnuchess source (which is (?) to be downloaded separately). I have installed the mkmk thing using contrib/gui, downloaded the gnuchess source, extracted it, copied the chess script into it, ran it, but it produced quite a few error messages. Can anybody tell me what they did to get the chess program running? (Will there be a board as well?) Thank you. Ruda PS.: It's a pity there isn't such a thing like plan9 that would just work :)
