Description Pascal de Bruijn 2010-05-06 17:07:46 UTC 
Hi,

The Glaurung chess engine has been forked to become Stockfish, the original Glaurung developer joined the Stockfish team...

Stockfish is supposed to be extremely strong...

It's installed as:
/usr/games/stockfish

More info:
http://www.stockfishchess.com/download/

It's already available nicely packaged for Ubuntu.

glchess stockfish patch

This should do it.
Comment 2 Robert Ancell 2010-05-10 13:26:49 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Comment 3 Pascal de Bruijn 2010-05-10 17:37:51 UTC 
I'd love to see this make it into a GNOME patch release 2.30.1 ?
Comment 4 JP Rosevear 2010-05-10 17:58:27 UTC 
glchess is part of gnome-games, gnome-chess is something different.  You need to change components for this bug.
Comment 5 Pascal de Bruijn 2010-05-10 18:46:39 UTC 
Indeed. My bad.
Comment 6 Robert Ancell 2010-05-11 07:46:39 UTC 
I've also applied the change for 2.30.2
