The Internet Chess Library -- An anonymous ftp archive at chess.onenet.net
(this file may be somewhat out of date! :-) )
The chess archive consists of the content of the directory tree contained
in /pub/chess. At the top level of this tree are a few informational files
which are briefly described below (the contents of these files will be
updated from time to time):
ICS.getting-started
This is an old introduction to the ICS (internet chess server).
The information will apply somewhat to the current server, but it
has changed a great deal since this was written.
README
This is a file containing a welcome message and a statement of the
general purpose and intent of the archive.
README.archive-structure
This file.
README-pictures-of-netchessplayers
This tells how you might donate a digitized picture of yourself or
a chessplayer you know into the archive.
README-where_is_ICS.info
This is a 'link' to the file containing the current Internet
locations of the main ICS's (currently, one in USA and one in
Europe.)
README.too
This is an informational note related to finding recently uploaded
data.
chess-FAQ
This is the Chess FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions, and answers).
gnu-chess-FAQ
This is a FAQ for GnuChess, a public domain chess playing program
from the GNU (Gnu's Not Unix) project -- part of the Free Software
Foundation.
ls-lR
This is a complete listing of the current contents of the archive,
without descriptions. Filenames only. A Index with descriptions
is probably not a possibility at this time because of the limited
resources of the current maintainer. (Any help on this would be
greatly appreciated)
where_is_ICS.info
This is the info file for the locations of the ICS's.
README-where_is_ICS.info is linked to this file.
The rest of the archive is divided into a number of subdirectories which
attempt to classify the data somewhat. Below is a listing of directories
