Subject: should 3dchess be dropped from Debian?

Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2009 20:53:31 +0200

Package: 3dchess
Version: 0.8.1-16
Severity: important

3dchess is old (1996), not popular and looks very outdated whereas there
is good alternative in Debian. Should we keep it in Debian?

Subject: alternatives?

I am not sure what the alternatives are since the other games are
classical chess and this is a variant. That said there seems to be no AI
so it's not really a great game for lonely nerds.

And the web page mentioned in the man page has a typo.
