The bug in xboard is easy to fix, with the interim solution noted by myself
(post#5) and also Michael Jenkinson (post#6).
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".
