Richard, Probably a good starting page to look around: http://www.cent.co.yu/chess/ has links to a linux page. I think that all 3 of the programs there use the xboard interface for graphics. I've used Fotress and Gromit's win32 versions and they're both good. And of course if you get xboard (see Tim Mann's page) then you might as well get Crafty, the monster of the freeware Chess world, it's more agressive than ever, and since you have Linux I see no reason why you couldn't handle the (not user friendly) set-up of Crafty. Lot's of good stuff for Linux, more all the time. Pete Richard Vaughan wrote: > Hi, > > Has anyone here got (or seen) any decent chess programs that will work under > Linux? > > Richard
