If someone succeeded in that I would really appreciate knowing how. Only one problem : I couldn't install the newer Junior 9 engine and the Fritz 8 interface. A small difference in performance : compared to Windows XP Pro its' faster by 3.7 % in Ubuntu ! There's nothing in the forum on this topic yet so this is just aiming at filling a gap.įritz 6 works in a fake Windows 98 environment and also by accessing the WinXP files. Now the main reason for this post is that I successfully installed Fritz 6 in Ubuntu with Wine (20050310). The option in the second command is important because to install a large book you have to overwrite the small one that comes with the Crafty package. Then I did sudo dpkg -i b and sudo dpkg -i -force overwrite b.

To install I renamed the files to b and b. You can use these with Crafty, which is the strongest non commercial (but not free) chess engine available in Linux. If you want to stick to open source and non commercial software I recommend Eboard (for playing) and Scid (for analysing). There are a few packages available in the Universe repository but Linux chess programs lack lots of the functions available in commercial products, and there's no really good looking GUI. Having to boot in Windows just for one program is kind of sad.Ok so my biggest problem in Linux and the only reason for me to keep a Windows system are my chess software.
