Er, wait a minute. In bug #232145 comment #0 you ask for a change in dependencies and a ~ppc keyword, and in this one you tell us that it /doesn't/ work? :)
erm.. yes. This is another computer, and (of course!), the ebuild is untouched on this one.
games-board/pychess-0.8.1 is no longer in portage.
