Gullydeckel Chess Program is a basic chess software for gaming enthusiasts.
Available for both Linux and Windows operating systems, Gullydeckel can be easily integrated with a graphical chess board like WinBoard. Alternatively, you can use it with other interfaces such as Fritz 8, Arena, or Chessbase.
Installation is straightforward, with just a few simple steps required. Firstly, you need to extract the sources from the archive (e.g. "tar zxf g2_2.13.pl6.tgz"), then navigate to the 'src' directory and run 'make' to build the Gullydeckel binary. If you want to use the opening book, simply copy the file "book.bin" into the same directory as the binary.
Once installed, you can easily solve test suites (in epd/fen format) or play a game using Xboard by typing in relevant command prompts like "gully2 -f ../Tests/bk.epd --time 30" or "xboard -fcp gully2".
In summary, if you want a simple chess program that's easy to install and use, then Gullydeckel Chess Program is definitely worth checking out.
