Hi I have a dual boot with Xp pro and Linux Mandrake 9, does anyone know how to get fritz 8 to work on linux, allegedly there is a way to d it?

Hi pechenegs. Would you happen to be Sherlock Holmes in another forum? I found one post that says that it won't run under wine & you'd need to use winex. But then I found this

http://www.calmar.ws/fritz_and_wine.php

that said it would run with Wine - Your mileage may vary.

This is the reason that I asked:

http://www.linuxcompatible.org/Fritz_8_and_Mandriva_t33401.html

It was posted less than a month ago, but I just noticed that it's does say Mandriva, not Mandrake.

Dude, if you're a serious chess player, get crafty from ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/src/ and compile it, then use SCID

as a display engine. Crafty is a stronger chess engine than Fritz.
