lib-gwt-svg-chess is a chess game implemented in javascript and SVG. It was written originally as a demonstrator for lib-gwt-svg. It uses carballo-gwt, a GWT-ified form of the powerful Carballo chess engine by Alberto Alonso Ruibal. The SVG chess artwork comes from wikipedia‘s article on chess pieces.

version 0.4.10
It has been tested on the following SVG-enabled web browsers:
| Browser | Version |
|---|---|
| Firefox | 3.x |
| Opera | 9.x or greater |
| Chrome | 4.1.249.1036 (41514) or greater |
| Safari | 5.0.3 or greater |
| Internet Explorer | 9 or greater |
Note that the program does not work correctly on Safari for some yet to be determined reason (symptom: browser crash at initialization time, related to SVGUseElement). Chrome used to have this bug too until a recent upgrade, so Safari will probably get the fix too when Apple upgrades its Webkit image.
