Description Michael Catanzaro 2013-03-24 02:31:35 UTC 
gnome-chess detects the Stockfish engine, but doesn't understand any of its output and treats it as an immediate resignation.  This is the only UCI engine I've tested gnome-chess with so I'm not sure if it's not a more general UCI issue.

Comment 1 Michael Catanzaro 2013-03-24 02:42:31 UTC 
I'm sorry, please close this bug.  That was tested in 3.6.1, but in running gnome-chess from git master, either from jhbuild or compiled normally, Stockfish seems perfectly fine.  (I wasn't able to identify the commit that resolved this.)
Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2013-05-01 20:36:49 UTC 
Hm, I'm still able to reproduce this on master when not using jhbuild... something's up, I'll need to investigate further.
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2013-05-12 03:25:36 UTC 
Aha, it was a regression caused by the fix for Bug #691031.
