+A chess game for the Sugar (OLPC) environment.
+
+This project consists in creating a Chess activity for the Sugar environment to teach kids the basic rules of the game and allow them to play with one another and against the CPU.
+
+Ceibal-Chess differs from other projects in that it aims to produce a chess Activity for the Sugar and the XO that is free as in Freedom, allowing kids to explore its source code, modify it and redistribute it freely.

+* Designed from the ground up to work on the XO.
+* Distributed as an Activity Bundle (.xo)
+* Completely developed in Python + PyGame.
+* Integration with GNU Chess.
+* Player vs Player mode (on one Laptop).
+* Valid movements highlighting.
+* Enemy movements highlighting.
+* Portable: known to work on various Linux distros, Mac OS X and even Windows.
+* Easy to learn and use, without complex menus or options.
