| Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Oliver Korff <ok@xynyx.de>
* Package name : toga2
Version : 1.2.1.1
Upstream Author : Thomas Gaksch <toga2@gmx.net>

Description : computer chess engine, calculates chess moves
Advancement of the strong chess engine fruit, it is
even stronger, and will be further developed. As communication
protocol it uses the UCI (universal chess interface), so you
need an UCI capable frontend to play against it.

Please work on the phrasing. It doesn't make much sense as
written. Perhaps "Advanced chess engine under active
development."?

In the short description? Difficult, I could mention a "chess strength" of
2700 ELO, but would have to describe ELO. And I will get a discussion about
how I get to this number.
What do you think?

You are right, its definetly the stongest engine in debian now.

I would say that for any literate enough person, the phrase "chess
strength of 2700 ELO" is self-descriptive. It includes a number and
an unit of measure -- for those who do not know that unit, it is
named "chess strength".
So, adding anything more would be excess wordage.

Perhaps one of these might be useful:
likevel:~> debtags grep 'game::board:chess && x11::application'
3dchess: game::board:chess, interface::3d, use::gameplaying, x11::application
eboard: game::board, game::board:chess, interface::x11, uitoolkit::gtk, use::gameplaying, x11::application
eboard-extras-pack1: game::board, game::board:chess, interface::x11, role::content:data, use::gameplaying, x11::application, x11::theme
gnuchess: game::board:chess, interface::text-mode, interface::x11, uitoolkit::ncurses, use::gameplaying, x11::application
xboard: game::board:chess, interface::x11, uitoolkit::athena, use::gameplaying, x11::application
xshogi: game::board, game::board:chess, interface::x11, uitoolkit::athena, use::gameplaying, x11::application
knights: game::board:chess, interface::x11, suite::kde, uitoolkit::qt, use::gameplaying, x11::application

Chess database program:
scid: Shane's Chess Information Database is a chess database application with
a graphical user interface.
knighs -- is a playing interface, its KDE but has nice graphics and you'll get
themes for it at:

Think it should, but I'll check.
Thanks,
