crafty

DESCRIPTION
crafty is a chess playing and analysis program. It can optionally use opening books (available separately) and end game tables. As a graphical interface one can use xboard which is available as part of the FreeBSD ports collection.

To make full use of crafty one has to copy books.bin and an opening book (all usually located under /usr/local/lib/crafty with standard installation on your system) into ones private directories to allow it to learn during use. Note that the installation of the opening books is optional.

ENVIRONMENT
crafty doesn't use any environment variables.
