Description Robert Ancell 2007-06-13 00:37:06 UTC
To keep consistent with the existing Gnome games (and good UI design in general) glChess should automatically start with a human vs AI game. This should easily disabled from the preferences dialog.

Note that an automatically started game with no moves should be saved in the autosave but not the history if it is cancelled.

This sounds like a very good idea.

Subversion head now starts a game of human (white) versus the first available AI (easy). This will be GNUchess in the default install.

Changing this bug to adding preferences for this first game
Comment 4 Robert Ancell 2009-09-08 02:48:04 UTC
Instead of preferences it now starts using the last AI chosen from the new game dialog:
