I am using skak-1.2 which is the current version distributed with
debian-testing. 
Chessfss is currently not included in the debian-testing distribution so
it must be packaged (if no copyright issues are involved). Where can 
I find documentation about the skak library. The documentation 
included in the package is not helping very much. Googling around
hasnt delivered also much documentation.
