Cute Chess is a graphical user interface, command-line interface and a library for playing chess. Cute Chess is written in C++ using the Qt framework.

Binaries are available for cutechess-cli, the command-line interface of Cute Chess. The latest version is 0.5.1.

• cutechess-cli GNU/Linux 32-bit
• cutechess-cli GNU/Linux 64-bit
• cutechess-cli OS X 64-bit
• cutechess-cli Win32

The GUI doesn't have a binary release at this time.

Cute Chess requires Qt 4.6 or greater and qmake. Qt 5 is not currently supported.

In the simplest case you only have to issue:

$ qmake
$ make

If you are using the Visual C++ compiler replace make with nmake. To build on OS X add -spec macx-g++ to the qmake command.

Documentation is available as Unix manual pages in the docs/ directory.

API documentation can be built by issuing make doc-api (requires Doxygen).

Cute Chess is released under the GPLv3+ license except for the components in the projects/lib/components and projects/gui/components directories which are released under the MIT License.

Cute Chess was written by Ilari Pihlajisto and Arto Jonsson.
