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.
