;;; Commentary:

;; Welcome to Emacs Chess, a chess playing module for GNU Emacs.
;;
;; This program will not play chess against you; it is not a chess
;; computer.  It can use a chess computer, however, to simulate your
;; opponent's moves.  This is decided when you choose your opponent.
;; You must, of course, have that chess computer installed.  See the
;; top of chess-player.el for more information.
;;
;; To just get a chessboard up, put the following in your .emacs file:
;;
;;   (add-to-list 'load-list "<the path to Emacs Chess>")
;;
;;   (autoload 'chess "chess" "Play a game of chess" t)
;;
;; Now you can type `M-x chess', and play chess against anyone else in
;; the room with you, without having to install anything more.
;;
;; Once this is working, the next thing to do is to customize
;; `chess-use-modules'.  This is a list of functionality modules used
;; by chess.el to provide its functionality.  You can enable or
;; disable modules so that Emacs Chess better suites your tastes.
;; Those modules in turn often have configuration variables, and
;; appropriate documentation at the top of the related file.
;;
;; Emacs Chess is designed in a highly modular fashion, using loosely
;; coupled modules that respond to events on the chess board.  This
;; makes it very easy for programmers to add their own types of
;; displays, opponents, analysis programs, etc.  See the documentation
;; in chess-module.el to learn more.
;;
;; There is no documentation for this program other than what exists
;; in the source files.  This is because the source files aim at being
;; self documenting, and as chess is such a simple game, most chess
;; players aren't going to need to know much about this program in
;; particular.
;;
;; However, most people will probably be interested in reading the top
;; of chess-display.el and chess-pgn.el, which describe the user
;; interface commands available in each of those buffer types.

;;; Code:

(require 'chess-pgn)

  "An Emacs chess playing program."
  :group 'games)
(defconst chess-version "2.0a2"

(defcustom chess-default-display (if (display-graphic-p)
				     'chess-images 'chess-ics1)
  "Default module set to be used when starting a chess session."
  :type 'sexp
  :group 'chess)

(defcustom chess-default-engine 'chess-gnuchess
  "Default engine to be used when starting a chess session."
  :type 'sexp
  :group 'chess)

(defun chess (&optional arg)
