Description Valdis 2012-10-08 15:19:19 UTC
Install glchess and phalanx packages on Ubuntu 12.04. Note, that if Phalanx engine is chosen as an enemy, Glchess does not work with it.
Probably there is some glitch in input/output parsing as plananx do it differently from gnuchess (what you can check invoking phalanx or gnuchess from command line):

== Phalanx engine ==
valdis@vostro:~$ phalanx
Phalanx XXII-pg
primary book /usr/share/games/phalanx/pbook.phalanx, 48749 bytes
secondary book /usr/lib/games/phalanx/sbook.phalanx, 259074 bytes
tellics set 1 Phalanx XXII-pg, easy level 100
