Works here.

Did you select New -> Servers -> ... after starting gnome-chess?
Which server did you try to connect to and what did you enter in the
connect program field?

Regards,
Ansgar

What does the server window say?  When you start gnome-chess from a
shell, does it display any messages if you try to write something?

Can you connect to the server by running `telnet freechess.org 5000'?

Please file a separate bug report for each problem.

There should be an input field *below* the terminal window where you can
enter text.  I assume you cannot see it because of #517691.

Can you at least see incoming messages from the server?

tags 517453 + pending
thanks

Hi,

gnome-chess does not allow to send an empty line to the server.  As a
workaround, just enter something when the server asks you to press
return.

Ansgar
