  1. Install 3D drivers for your video card if you have not already. It may work without these drivers on some cards.
  2. Install dependencies:

    3. sudo apt-get install python-imaging python-opengl libgtkglext1 python-gtkglext1

  3. Launch Applications –> Games –> Chess
  4. Go to View menu and select 3D

For an extra challenge, install the crafty engine:

sudo apt-get install crafty
