[Kde-games-devel] Chess game for KDE4

[Miha Čančula]

Indeed, I haven't heard about Kaya. But now that I'm checking its source, it
certainly isn't the same thing (it's written in Ruby). Apart from (again)
extensive animation support, it does seem lighter and I surely will look
into it.
I also mailed tcorbin for permission to use the name Knights. A thief of any
king is something I'd rather not be.
