Phalanx is a free chess engine which understands the xboard protocol. It's suitable for beginner and intermediate players. Phalanx's playing style is quite human-like; when it plays at full strength, it may be compared to a intermediate-to-strong club player; beginners will be right at home with it, too. This SlackBuild comes with a patch from Scid by Pascal Georges, because this package is primary intended to be used with scid. If you don't want the patch, simply remove "setboard.patch" from the patches directory.
