Yes, Alice is in good condition (I have to take better pictures). Only the inside edges are little dirty.

Alice game found on internet is not complete. It is probably beta or something, because some feauters (like clicking on the numbers to open option menu with cat) doesnt work with that one.

How to play it? This is from folklore.org

The player controlled Alice and viewed the board from her perspective, facing away from the player so you only saw her from the rear.

 

A three digit score, rendered in a large, ornate, gothic font, appeared centered near the top of the screen, and then the game began in earnest, with opposing chess pieces suddenly leaping into the air, one at a time, in rapid succession. If you stood in one place for too long, an enemy piece would leap onto Alice's square, capturing her and ending the game.

 

It didn't take long to figure out that if you clicked on a square that was a legal move, Alice would leap to it, so it wasn't too hard to jump out of the way of an enemy piece. And, if you managed to leap onto the square of another piece before it could move out of the way, you knocked it out of action and were rewarded with some points. You won the game if Alice was the last one standing.
