IRC Chess is a graphical interface which allows you to connect to your opponent using his IP address.





Chess players meet on the IRC chat channels, such as Undernet #chess or DALnet #chessmasters, and play games using this interface.

To connect to IRC you must have an IRC client such as mIRC or XiRCON.

Both clients work in a similar fashion but I will describe how to connect to Undernet #chess using mIRC.
