The new chess game inside gnome-games IS glchess. gnome-games wants to be self-contained, so it included the whole gnuchess inside its own source, with just very minor modifications.

Right now they should have been able to coexist perfectly together, I found this conflicting thing utterly silly and useless. It is perfectly valid now to say gnome-games package wants to expel any other chess interface.

BTW, for better chess engines, you can try phalanx and crafty (esp. the latter one, very strong). Given sufficient training phalanx almost always beats gnuchess.

Hope the next gnome-games package would not expel crafty and phalanx as well.
