I didn't find a way to compile it with djgpp, and it's own makefile was a bit
heavy duty for me to work with.  Maybe someone else can make it work.  A quick
look at one of the files indicates that you'd make the pieces move the same very
long-hand way as the small Chess program that Eugene posted a while back (not on
the easy side, but posible).
