Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin comes with a wide array of software,
but a lot of the traditional GNOME games, like Chess, are missing. Which
is something of an embarrassing shortfall, really, because both Mac OS X
and Windows 7 come with chess games. Even Windows Vista came with a chess game, which is really rather embarrassing for Ubuntu.
Fortunately, this egregious deficiency is easily corrected by
installing the GNOME games package, which includes the GNOME Chess game.
As an added bonus, you’ll also get the Quadrapassel Tetris clone, which
is a great time-killer.
To install GNOME Games, simply go to the Terminal and type this command:
sudo apt-get install gnome-games
Enter your password to authenticate, and apt-get will download and install the missing GNOME games.
After the installation is complete, you can find Chess and the other games by going to the Dash and searching for Chess.
Enjoy!!!!!
