I'd recommend switching the default engine in Ubuntu from GNUChess to HoiChess (which, unlike other distros, you already have a package for). I've been able to tune its difficulty level far lower than I managed with other engines.
I'm not really sure whether I want to change our GNUChess settings or not. I can make it easier, but this will (1) break compatibility with older versions of GNUChess, and (2) cause it to run your CPU constantly during the game. So I'm leaning towards just not touching it... see the upstream bug for details. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138570 Title: Chess needs a "very easy" mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-games/+bug/138570/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
