Hello guys,
I would like to run TJchess 1.1 on xboard. I've already downloaded the linux version in the website (http://tonyjh.com/chess/).
I think it is a winboard engine, not an UCI one.
So I've searched how to play against a winboard engine on xboard on this forum and found

So I've tried a similar thing for TJchess but that did not work. I don't understand what are the fcp and fd linking to. Aren'y they supposed to both link to crafty.exe in that case? If so, why is it a different path? Which one is supposed to link to the engine.exe? And to what is supposed to link the other?
I tried
Code:
xboard -fcp /home/isaac/Games/TJchessFICS/tjchess -fd /home/isaac/Games/TJchessFICS/
but it says that the program "/home/isaac/Games/TJchessFICS/tjchess" terminated unexpectedly.
When I try
Code:
xboard -fcp /tjchess -fd /home/isaac/Games/TJchessFICS/
it says that the program "/tjchess" terminated unexpectedly.
I tried with and without the "'s, it returns the same message. I cannot get it to run on xboard.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
