I'd recommend switching the default engine in Ubuntu from GNUChess to
HoiChess (which, unlike other distros, you already have a package for).
I've been able to tune its difficulty level far lower than I managed
with other engines.
I'm not really sure whether I want to change our GNUChess settings
I forgot to add: I didn't find Phalanx's "stupid mode" to be nearly easy
enough, i.e. I couldn't win despite trying a few times :p.

Notes about difficulty comparison between current GNUChess "Easy" and "phalanx
-e100 -l- -b-" or "stupid mode".
If you can win GNUChess easy 1 time from 20, then you win phalanx "stupid mode"
always (gnuchess is especially smart for openings).
If you sometimes trick to lose phalanx "stupid mode",
Valdisvi,
Thanks! The settings for the AI difficulties are in
/usr/share/glchess/ai.xml, you can copy this file to ~/.gnome2/glchess/
and modify it to try new settings.
Note that you can't set different command line flags for different
difficulty levels - I have fixed this upstream so the next v
Sorry, right parameters for phalanx are -e 100, not -e 1, or "phalanx -e100 -l-
-b-" to be more precise.
Then it makes few stupid errors, which helps a lot. See more for workaround at:

Workaround to this is using xboard (http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard.html) with
phalanx (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phalanx/) engine.
sudo apt-get install xboard phalanx
mkdir ~/.games
then run
xboard -fcp "phalanx -e 1" -fd ~/.games
where "phalanx -e 1" means passed engine with easiest level
Yes, I played Chess, and I lost even though I had the setting on "Easy".
There should be a "Very easy" or "Retard" mode too.
Not everyone is Kasparov!
There are beginners too!
