[Lazarus] fpchess

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi Felipe,

The "Free Pascal Application Suite" [1] wiki page mentions the "Free 
Pascal Window Manager". Is that the fpwm project on SourceForge? If it 
is, I've been thinking of reviving that project - Gnome and KDE are just 
too bloated and slow. I would love to implement something like OS/2's 
Workplace Shell, but for Linux.

Looking at the wiki page, and the listing of various applications. I 
have a Calculator and File Manager (Total Commander 2-pane style) and a 
simple Text Editor written with fpGUI. Could I add those with links, or 
is that list just for LCL based applications?

As for the fpChess project. I remember seeing in WDSybil (I think) 
repository a whole host of documentation and source code samples for 
learning OOP, where they design a chess program as part of the tutorial. 
I can't remember if it included a chess engine too, but I thought it 
worth mentioning to you.

Does your fpChess program implement its own chess engine, or is your app 
simply a GUI frontend to other known chess engines (eg: Crafty, Houdini, 
Rybka etc).
