Click Image for Animation

'Chess Dance' Copyright 1997, Christopher L. Amshey. Originally created with an Epson Equity 386/20, running Debian Linux, using the applications Pov-Ray, whirlgif, 'convert' from the ImageMagick suite, and the picture-manipulator 'xv'. I've finally upgraded to a Cyrix 6x86, and changed it from an animated gif of several megs to a nice little mpeg, using the ucbmpeg tools. (Little? Well, okay, it is 388Kbytes. But that is small for an MPEG!) Much better... You'll want to view it in a looping mode. If you don't have an mpeg-viewer or it doesn't support looping, well... sorry, but gif just doesn't lend itself to this size of animation!
