Hi!
I'm interested in playing engine tournaments with Ubuntu ARM, So I'm looking for chess IDEs like Winboard/xboard, Cutechess, BanksiaGui & Arena compiling them by myself (if open source) together with all best engines.
Until now I have only Pychess working...

Re: Ubuntu ARM64 for chess?
I guess that xboard will compile easily enough
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Pi4Chess has done an amazing job making builds and I've added a few myself.
He has a bigger collection available, but here is an earlier one I'm mirroring.

c-chess-cli should work: https://github.com/lucasart/c-chess-cliAlexChess wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 8:40 am Hi!

I've never tried Linux on ARM, but I've tested c-chess-cli on Android (using Termux) and MacOS (automated with github CI).
Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.

Re: Ubuntu ARM64 for chess?
Hi!
Have you a link for cutechess and cutechess-cli ARM64 binaries? I've fount it here, but it is expired.
I'll tell you if it works also on Ubuntu ARM64 under Parallels Desktop M1
Thanks!

Re: Ubuntu ARM64 for chess?
You can download binaries here: https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/ ... /tag/1.2.0
And if your architecture/OS is not provided, then building it from the source is super simple:
https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess# ... rom-source

Re: Ubuntu ARM64 for chess?
I thought you wanted to compile by yourself. Are you having issues compiling Cutechess or Banksia ? The hardest part is to install Qt dependencies. Otherwise, I can't see why the platform (ARM instead of amd64) would make a difference.
