Our current idea for the next big gcj project is to make applets
work. Lately, however, my hacking has mostly been fixing bugs and
redoing the build system so that we can more easily merge with
Classpath — boring stuff.

So, last week when I happened across a java chess game applet at
the excellent chessgames.com, I
tried it out with gcjwebplugin. A
couple little bug fixes later (thanks Sven), and it is working fine.
(You can see from the screenshot that I’m running it via the applet
viewer, and not as a Mozilla plugin.)

The
game in the screenshot is old and beautiful and somewhat famous.
See if you can find the final move without looking at the move list.
