+Knights - A chess interface for the K Desktop Environment
+
+FOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, SEE THE "INSTALL" FILE
+
+- What Is Knights?
+
+Knights is a graphical chess interface designed to work with KDE. Knights
+is called a chess 'interface' because it does not come with it's own computer
+players. There are several very good computer players ( Chess Engines )
+already. Unfortunatly, most chess engines do not include fully featured GUIs.
+Instead, they rely on other programs ( like Knights ) to fill the gap.
+
+- How can I learn more about Knights?
+
+If you're interested in learning more, you should visit our project's website
+at http://knights.sourceforge.net
+
+- What Chess Engines work with Knights?
+
+Knights should support any engine which uses the XBoard protocol developed by
+Tim Mann. Knights will also offer it's own protocol for future use. To date,
+the following chess engines have been confirmed to work with Knights. If you
+know of another, please let me know so I can update this list.
+
+	- GNUChess v4.0 patchlevel 80
+	- GNUChess v5.02
+	- Crafty v18.09
+	- Crafty v18.10
+	- KnightCap v3.3
+	- Sjeng v10.0
+	- BabyChess
+
+- What can I do to help Knights?
+
+Knights can always use help in a number of areas. The best way to get started
+would be to express your interests on the knights-devel mailing list. You can
+sign up from here:

+
+Currently, we're very interested in talking to a graphics artist about
+designing some new themes, and we would like to talk to some advanced
+chess players about helping to develop the tutorials.
