You need to tell what machine you are using and with operating system!
I will gladly help if you tell that.

The system here at the lab is a typical Sun workstation under SunOS Release 4.1.1.
As I'm far from the sysad, I don't know a whole lot more, but I could find out
if that's not enough.

HOW TO GET GNU CHESS

Use anonymous ftp to reach prep.ai.mit.edu on the Internet
(18.71.0.38). Connect to the directory pub/gnu/. Get the file
gnuchess-X.Y.tar.Z. Where X.Y is the highest version number
you see in the pub/gnu directory for the prefix gnuchess*.
(Find this with "dir gnuchess*").

This is all relatively unimportant. GNU Chess will run on everything
from a PC to a Cray with little trouble at all.

For the uninitiated, GNU Chess is a chess program I started in 1984. There
have been at least a half-dozen major rewrites and revisions since then
by both American and European groups.

Follow the advice in my posting on "How to get GNU Chess" (which,
unfortunately, has the Usenet subject title "re: gnu.chess"). I cannot
service requests from people who are not on the Internet. They will either
have to find a UUCP site or pay FSF for a copy of the distribution tape.

There are adequate instructions in the distribution that describe how
to get the distribution compiled and installed. It helps but is not essential
for you to have GNU's C-compiler. At the very least, it compiles a more
efficienct code and produces a program that plays a stronger game of chess
due to increased speed.
