GNU Chess 6.2.5 release

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Hello ,

GNU Chess 6.2.5 is released here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/chess/

Can anybody of you make binaries for Windows 32/64 bit (executable files) of the source code, please?

unlike gnuchess-6.2.4, the 6.2.5 version is not working with xboard-4.9.1, regardless of how it was invoked:

# xboard -fcp "gnuchess --xboard" -scp "gnuchess --xboard"

or

#xboard -fUCI -fcp "gnuchess" -sUCI -scp "gnuchess"

None of these two commands is working.The xboard screen appears and everything looks fine, but when the game starts, gnuchess responds with only one move and then hangs forever. This happens regardless of whether the opening book is enabled (set to true) or disabled (set to false). This didn't happen in gnuchess-6.2.4 that was working fine and without any problem.

It is interesting however that version 6.2.5 works correctly with eboard-1.1.1.

Is there any way to fix this?

Best wishes,

Norbert

direct link to source - for those with macOS, in the terminal app

Code: Select all

./configure
./make 

will build the exe right on your Mac. ( Provided you have all the right tool set to build)

Quite buggy under xboard ( particularly engine vs engine play), you may reach the the current author via the mailing list:

Please do not send them to me. Thanks.
