Knights is called a chess "interface" +because it does not come with it's own computer players. There are +several computer players ( Chess Engines ) already. Unfortunatly, most +chess engines do not include fully featured GUIs. Instead, they rely on +other programs ( like Knights ) to fill the gap. + + +## What Chess Engines can work with Knights? + +Knights should support any engine which uses the XBoard protocol +developed by Tim Mann. Knights will also offer it's own protocol for +future use. To date, the following chess engines have been confirmed +to work with. If you know of another, please let we know so we can +update this list. + +- GNUChess v4.0 patchlevel 80 +- GNUChess v5.02 +- Crafty v18.09 +- Crafty v18.10 +- KnightCap v3.3 +- Sjeng v10.0 +- BabyChess + + +## List of Knights' key features: + +* Play against yourself, against computer opponents, + or against others over the Internet. +* Customize your board and pieces with over 30 different themes, + or make your own! +* Audio cues help alert you to important events. +* Novice players can preview potential moves. +* Save your unfinished matches and play them again later. + +. + +Contributing +-------------- + +If you wish to contribute to knights (TDE), you might do so: + +- TDE Gitea Workspace (TGW) collaboration tool. + https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea + +- TDE Weblate Translation Workspace (TWTW) collaboration tool. + https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/weblate + + +Translations status +--------------------- + +### messages +[![Translations status](https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/weblate/widgets/applications/-/knights/multi-auto.svg +"Engage in translating")](https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/weblate/projects/applications/knights/) + +### desktop files +[![Translations status](https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/weblate/widgets/applications/-/knights-knightsdesktop/multi-auto.svg +"Engage in translating")](https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/weblate/projects/applications/knights-knightsdesktop/) + +### mime-types +[![Translations status](https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/weblate/widgets/applications/-/knights-pgn-mimetype/multi-auto.svg +"Engage in translating")](https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/weblate/projects/applications/knights-pgn-mimetype/) |
