Thx for your advice.
I have tried Eboard, and frankly I don't like it. It doesn't
support ICC as much as Jin, and the board and pieces are not that beautiful.
Xboard is terrible in terms of graphics and user-friendliness. These are just my
humble optinions !
I have found Jin to be very stable, and the fatal bug has been fixed.
Jin is currently at 2.07 RC1, so it will be even more stable when 2.07 final is
out.
  Next time I will install Jin and BlitzIn2 (using wine). So hopefully my dad
can play one way or the other.

Martin.
