To untar all of the files in the tar file you would use this command:
 
tar xvf gnome-chess-2.2.0.tar
 
The will probably be a README and an INSTALL file telling you step by step how to install the program

Hello everybody!
Sorry for my horrible English.I'm a new Linux user from Spain and I'm trying to learn more about this fantastic OS.
I'm having a lot of problems with "tar" files.I'm trying to install Gnome-Chess,which contains a file called "gnome-chess-2.2.0.tar".
How can I install this on my computer?
Thanks
