Your limited RAM is most likely the problem. Early moves of the game are made from gnuchess's book and are therefore nearly instantaneous. Later moves require searching. When compiled with the default options, gnuchess requires 11 to 12 MB of memory. If you run it in only 8 MB, it is likely to thrash---that is, to waste most of its time waiting for the operating system to swap pages between real memory and the disk. The file doc/PORTING in the gnuchess distribution gives some information about how to build a version of gnuchess that uses less memory. ---Tim
