(A bit off-topic) chess via Skype in Linux. was: Re: Skype sound problems

[Dan Shimshoni]

Hello,
While we are @skype, I want to offtopic this :

I heard that on windows you can play chess via Skype.

I wonder: did anybody tried it successfully on Linux ?

(and forgive me for this off-topic interrupt)

Rgs,
DS
