Ubuntu ARM64 for chess?

[AlexChess]

Hi!
I'm interested in playing engine tournaments with Ubuntu ARM, So I'm looking for chess IDEs like Winboard/xboard, Cutechess, BanksiaGui & Arena compiling them by myself (if open source) together with all best engines.

Until now I have only Pychess working...

I guess that xboard will compile easily enough

Pi4Chess has done an amazing job making builds and I've added a few myself.

He has a bigger collection available, but here is an earlier one I'm mirroring.

c-chess-cli should work: https://github.com/lucasart/c-chess-cli
I've never tried Linux on ARM, but I've tested c-chess-cli on Android (using Termux) and MacOS (automated with github CI).

Thank you, but I'm looking for a GUI, too.

Thank you, but I'm looking for a GUI, too.

cutechess and xboard work great under ubuntu arm. I run Ubuntu on most of my boxes and really havent noticed any difference between a a normal PC and my Pi4 w/ 8gigs ram.

Hi!
Have you a link for cutechess and cutechess-cli ARM64 binaries? I've fount it here, but it is expired.
I'll tell you if it works also on Ubuntu ARM64 under Parallels Desktop M1

Thanks!

You can download binaries here: https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/ ... /tag/1.2.0

And if your architecture/OS is not provided, then building it from the source is super simple:

I thought you wanted to compile by yourself. Are you having issues compiling Cutechess or Banksia ? The hardest part is to install Qt dependencies. Otherwise, I can't see why the platform (ARM instead of amd64) would make a difference.
