Reference the chess program crafty, if one still wishes to use the strong crafty chess program, it is easy to compile under openSUSE. 1) Download the source package Go to <ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/>, click on "source" (in addition to crafty source, there are, e.g., books and tablebases to download as well) and then scroll down to select the latest "crafty-21.6.tar.gz" version. Place it at a suitable location (in my case /home/oldcpu/chess/crafty/). 2) Untar and compile Crafty In a terminal execute: cd /home/oldcpu/chess/crafty tar -xzvf crafty-21.6.tar.gz cd crafty-21.6 make linux For amd 64-bit users, instead of "make linux" try "make linux-amd64". Then execute crafty with something like: xboard -fcp ./crafty -size medium Another strong chess program, that works well with xboard, is "spike". -- 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.
