I get this error when running glChess. By the way, there is no /root/.glchess/autosave.pgn file.

Auto-loading from /root/.glchess/autosave.pgn...

This bug has already been reported in Ubuntu:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-games/+bug/81064

Since this bug means that glChess will not be runnable, 
I think we should consider releasing a new version of gnome-games (2.17.91 or whatever) today, so that a runnable glChess is included in the latest release of gnome-games. This is important to get the new games properly tested.

Anyway, this really emphasizes the need for a automated unit-testing framework for gnome-games.
