I'm getting 302 and 404 errors when trying to install stockfish. It looks like the stockfish-2.1-linux.zip file has been moved or removed. Oh... stockfish is 2.1.1 now ;-) - sorry took me awhile to get past the cl.ly link.

New Stockfish engine, version 2.1!

New stockfish book, version 2.0.1!

Thanks for the hint. It seems to work fine with scid. In the past Scid used to be no longer in development, and chessdb stepped into that gap. Since when it is the other way around?

You're welcome! To use Stockfish, you need an interface which supports UCI protocol. I use Scid, a chess database program (from which chessdb derives I think) and you can find it here in AUR. Stockfish is just a chess engine, which receives string commands in it standard input. This commands are generally generated from the User Interface which supports the Universal Chess Interface(UCI). Try Scid and search the options about engines. If you have a problem, try it's documentation and you won't have difficulty figuring out what to do.
