There is no reason you need root privileges.  Start with the Makefile 
supplied with gnuchess, and edit the BINDIR and LIBDIR to point to 
directories that belong to you.  For instance, if your home directory 
is /home/zuheyr, you might set

 BINDIR=/home/zuheyr/bin
 LIBDIR=/home/zuheyr/lib

Be sure you create these directories.  Make sure the BINDIR is included 
in your $PATH shell environment variable.  Then recompile gnuchess 
from scratch.  (Do "rm *.o; make; make gnuchess.data; make install") 

With xboard, just copy the executable into your BINDIR after you 
have built it.  You don't have to do "make install" at all.
