As root, goto "Control Center"->"YaST2 Modules"->Software->Software. You will be presented with a list of packages. Under the first group, Amusements/Games, you will find crafty, gnuchess, and scid. Just select them and press apply. Xboard was not in my games menu, but I just checked and it is listed in the packages that are available. I will install it and configure it to run with crafty and gnuchess. Thanks for the hint. Steve
