According to dnf info gnuchess, the program itself runs in a CLI environment, using curses. In order to use it in a GUI, you need to have xboard installed as well.
Thanks for your response. I have gnuchess, knights and xboard installed. As I said, adding the --xboards option to gnuchess has no effect.
The knights program is a KDE replacement for xboard. Maybe gnuchess will default to knights if xboard isn't installed.
Possibly. But I am playing (losing) by starting knights, and then saying I want to use gnuchess as chess engine.
I don't mind doing this - but if there is any other way of using gnuchess I would be interested to know.
