I've compiled and installed it on our LAN.  Most of the suns here
are Sparc 1, 1+, or 2's running SunOS 4.1.2.

I have only anecdotal evidence of gnuchess' strength on the suns.  One
of the local chess gurus claims gnuchess plays "around 2000" for speed
chess (40 move/5min).  He says that gnuchess is tactically flawless.
He must strive to find positional advantages in order to beat it.
