It's on CD 4 of the CD set.  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
