Actually..the eboard.dsl does include the "crafty" engine..however when installed non frugal..and I install mydsl..the board and engine do not connect..I found the crafty book.bin and books.bin that are required in /var/lib/crafty..I found a hidden dsl file eboard and copied the books to eboard..this is a hack but when I open the board and choose generic rather than crafty and backspace gnuchess and enter crafty, then click ok..it will start a game..have had no success finding the reason..thought it may be an issue with mydsl and non frugal hd install...anyway it works and I can play chess at the moment..I have a ram issue so will only work when nothing else is running..but thats fine..:D

It should work without hacks. start eboard und select crafty oder generic engine. That should be all. crafty ist strong, i think better than gnuchess. Sjeng is interessting because it ist the "mother" auf deepblue. Vabene

Yes..have had install issues..but suggestions did solve..in this last install I must select generic and backspace gnuchess and type crafty and click ok..seems consistant with three installs. crafty is great..
