A little more investigation shows that it uses 100% cpu whenever I start a new game using the "new game" command. The only way it uses a reasonable amount of cpu is when I have ended a game on the previous session, and the new session starts with the default game (human: white vs. comp: black).
The 100% cpu usage persists on games started with "new game" even if I restart the app, as long as I have made a move before restarting. If I haven't made a move, the "new game" is lost and the app restarts with the default game, so it is impossible for me to play black without having the 100% cpu. The behaviour doesn't change in 3d mode. (I am unable to make more than one move in 3d mode due to another bug.) As I mentioned, I am using Hardy. I will be upgrading to Intrepid in the next days. I created a new user and the problem is the same. I notice that the app spawns a new gnome-gnuchess process for every new game, and those processes are the ones using all the cpu. If I start one "new game", and then start another, the system will have two gnome- gnuchess processes running, each using 50% cpu.
