To turn on the 3D chessboard in glChess, now include in gnome-games 2.8, do the following:
- Install 3D drivers for your video card if you have not already. It may work without these drivers on some cards.
- Install dependences
sudo apt-get install python2.4 python-imaging python2.4-opengl libgtkglext1 - Download python-gtkglext1
wget -c http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/glchess/python-gtkglext1_1.1.0-2feisty_i386.deb - Install python-gtkglext1
sudo dpkg -i python-gtkglext1_1.1.0-2feisty_i386.deb - Launch Applications –> Games –> Chess
- Go to View menu and select 3D
For an extra challenge, install the crafty engine
sudo apt-get install crafty

There is no 64-bit version of gtkglext. Hence, I still have the problem.
why do people keep posting wget commands on websites? I mean we got HYPERLINKS meanwhile…

@pavel — wget can be used in a script, it *fetches* the resource mentioned in the http url it is given as a parameter
