Greetings,

I'm having problems with GNU chess. I got the latest version and patch
level (gnuchess-4.0.pl74), and have installed it to a local bin and lib
directory (~linh/bin and ~linh/lib).  I performed "make," "make
gnuchess.data," and "make install" on a SunOS 4.1.3 platform.

There are two problems.  When I run "gnuchessn," I can play the game,
but the computer is way too easy to beat.  I've turned off easy mode
and tried to increase the depth, but the computer still makes really
stupid moves.  Secondly, I can't seem to get gnuchessx to display any
graphics (even though my DISPLAY variable is set)--there are no error
messages.  I've read the FAQ and the various INSTALL and README files
to no avail.

Any pointers appreciated,
Linh
