I really wish you would be a bit more careful with the facts. There was no repository for this activity, so it is impossible that i destroyed anything.

Why would you merge translations from one activity to another when neither has been ported to GTK3?

Porting to GTK3 (no evidence that it deserves a +), should affect the wrapper code and not the binary. Making this activity or gnuchess available for the Ubuntu Sugar would be helpful.

A simple alternative is to install gnuchess on the Gnome desktop and then prepare a simple wrapper from the HelloWorld activity (GTK3 version in the repository). The wrapper would execute gnuchess in Sugar.

EndGame activity is a different animal as it teaches simple end games in chess.

I appreciate your including release in the set of tasks, something which has not been done. One of your bullets should be to increment the version number.

@yashagrawal3 <https://github.com/yashagrawal3>, you might defer this activity to later in your list, because it will be a huge time sink. This activity needs much more than a COPYING file. It needs;

    instead of using http://git.sugarlabs.org/ceibal-chess or

    before installing the activity.
  * perhaps merging translations from the SimpleGNUChess activity on

  * testing,
  * porting to GTK+ 3,
  * testing,
  * release.

@alesegovia <https://github.com/alesegovia> may have some ideas on how to proceed.
