[Bug 138570] Re: Chess needs a very easy mode
Notes about difficulty comparison between current GNUChess Easy and phalanx -e100 -l- -b- or stupid mode. If you can win GNUChess easy 1 time from 20, then you win phalanx stupid mode always (gnuchess is especially smart for openings). If you sometimes trick to lose phalanx stupid mode, you can newer win gnuchess. So I'd rate phalanx stupid mode somewhere for beginners/smart kids. -- Chess needs a very easy mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Valdisvi, Thanks! The settings for the AI difficulties are in /usr/share/glchess/ai.xml, you can copy this file to ~/.gnome2/glchess/ and modify it to try new settings. Note that you can't set different command line flags for different difficulty levels - I have fixed this upstream so the next version will be able to do this. -- Chess needs a very easy mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 138570] Re: Chess needs a very easy mode
Sorry, right parameters for phalanx are -e 100, not -e 1, or phalanx -e100 -l- -b- to be more precise. Then it makes few stupid errors, which helps a lot.

[Bug 138570] Re: Chess needs a very easy mode
Workaround to this is using xboard (http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard.html) with phalanx (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phalanx/) engine. sudo apt-get install xboard phalanx mkdir ~/.games then run xboard -fcp phalanx -e 1 -fd ~/.games where phalanx -e 1 means passed engine with easiest level (1 from 100).

Valdisvi, how does playing with Phalanx in glChess on easy compare with the command you suggest?

[Bug 138570] Re: Chess needs a very easy mode
Yes, I played Chess, and I lost even though I had the setting on Easy. There should be a Very easy or Retard mode too. Not everyone is Kasparov!
