Guest Isix Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hi Folks I am new on the forum. I only resently started out with Mandriva --- which I am enjoying a lot. I got Mandriva 2007.0. Is there a chess game that I can load --- or is there a way to load xboard? Cheers, Isix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagwah Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 If you have xboard installed there should be a menu entry in, More Apllications/Games/Arcade, or just bring up a terminal/konsole, Start Menu/System/Terminals/Konsole (assuming KDE) and type xboard I however prefer eboard, you'll have to have a chess engine installed, but that should be installed as dependencies when you choose/chose. eboard or xboard. I like crafty, you can also use gnuchess, whatever. Also you might like to look at glchess, they are all available through MCC software manager.

scarecrow Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 If you have a puter gutsy enough, you may like "brutalchess" which is an openGL implementation of winboard: http://brutalchess.sourceforge.net/ There's also Jose ( http://jose-chess.sourceforge.net/ ) which is both a 3-D chessboard AND a chess (pgn) database manager, very nice looking, but also demanding, resources-wise (it's a java app).

polemicz Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I second what jagwah said about eboard. Also Crafty is a much better engine than gnuchess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
