## DESCRIPTION

*game* creates a board by board postscript output file on stdout for all or part of a chess game. Input is a 'chess.lst' file output by *gnuchess.* When combined with the  *ChessFont* file and sent to a postscript printer it will show all boards in the range specified. For each board the move and the current score are also printed. **ChessFont** is courtesy of Andy Walker, Maths Dept., Nott'm Univ., UK. (anw@maths.nott.ac.uk)  and is copyrighted by him.
