Hi guys
I was searching for a descent chess game and after googling a bit, I decided to install eboard.
Looks like eboard for fc16 is not available in the fedora repository, anyway I installed the one for fc15!
When I tried to play against an engine (GNU chess 4 or crafty), it says "Failed to run engine". After a bit googling, I found that I have to install book files to play against an engine (http://eboard.sourceforge.net/Crafty.txt). Book files for GNU chess 4 are available at http://www.bergo.eng.br/eboard/index.php?p=6 but I cannot connect to the given ftp sites to download it :( I tried connecting to the ftp site given by crafty link, again I cannot connect to that either :bang: Is there any other site from which I can download these book files? I really want to get it running!
Regards,
Anish
