0001 # Knights
0002 
0003 Knights is KDE's chess frontend. It supports playing local games against human players or against chess engines (XBoard and UIC)

0006 as well as playing online games on FICS server:

0009 Furthermore, it is possible to watch two different chess engines playing against each other:

0011 
0012 Knights is not bound to any specific chess engine and talks to every engine supporting either the XBoard or the UIC protocols. For couple of well known open-source chess engines provided by linux distributions, knights has an auto-detection of installed engines which simplifies the initial configuration:
