217.0. "KRIEGSPIEL" by CVG::CAMPANELLA (Michael Campanella, DTN 261-2595) Wed Feb 15 1989 14:11

    No, you are not experiencing Deja Vu...
    
    I have obtained the sources for Kriegspiel, a chess variant for
    X-windows in which 2 players play chess against each other without
    being able to see the opposing pieces.  This is normally achieved (if
    anyone has ever done this) by setting up a wall between the 2 players. 
    A referee has a board with all the pieces on it and indicates to the
    players whether or not they are attempting a legal move, etc...
    
    Looks like it would be real fun to try... I prepared a kit with the
    sources in CVG""::WORK1:[CAMPANELLA.KITS]KRIEGSPIEL.BCK (a backup
    saveset).  The sources are for UNIX, and must be ported for VMS. 
    Anyone who wants to is willing to give it a shot.
    
    If you are successfull, please make up a new saveset with the new
    sources, a procedure to build them, and announce the new kit.
    
    Have fun!!!
