Load up a fairly recent version of SyncTERM or a CTerm term that supports jpegXL then go to Doors > Board Games and select SynChess at endofthelinebbs.com ssh, telnet, rlogin.
Lots of features including
Select white, black, or random Play against the built in engine or Stockfish (configured by Sysop) Select 10 levels from random moves to impossible Change board and chess piece colors Show hints (valid square a selected piece can land on) Display/download PGN of completed games Offer the engine a draw Quitting will allow you to save or abandon your game if a move has been made win/loss/draw stats are recorded Moves are animated so you can easily see the move Either or both sides pieces can be invisble Moves are notated, hidden, or last move only - good for blindfold move Change level during a game if it's too difficult Turn on/off ability to undo last move Captured pieces are shown at the side ...and more
Non CTerm terminals will fall back to regular, boring ANSI.
