https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299579#c5 --- Comment #5 from Lee Matheson <lee_matheson@hotmail.com> 2007-09-07 13:34:36 MST --- This Bug (with xboard crashing immediately after launch, because it can not find crafty) is still present in 10.3-beta3 (even though phalanx is now a dependency of xboard). The work around is to still use another chess engine when starting xboard ... ie ... xboard -fcp phalanx -size medium The above comment #1 that crafty is likely the strongest chess program for Linux is not current, and hence not correct. I believe the program "fruit" to be a stronger chess program, and it can be downloaded (or repository setup) from here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Ports:/DebianBased:/Auto/openSUSE_... The chess engine "fruit" also uses xboard. For example, with fruit installed: xboard -fcp fruit -size medium In addition the current computer world champion chess program "rybka" (which plays under MS-Windows) will run under wine on Linux. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
