Hello, This is Brian Richardson, [EMAIL PROTECTED], URL http://www.cubik.ca/. I have written the beginnings of a Perl Chess engine. Currently, it is capable of validating the legality of a game of chess. Plans will expand to writing a skinnable user interface in Perl/GTK+, and a rudimentary (inasmuch as I'm not a great chess player!) AI. I've spoken with the author of Meta (who began a Meta::Chess module) and received the go-ahead to do this development. I'd like to release this module under the namespace Chess, and under the CPAN ID of BJR.
Thanks, Brian
