Look man, to be honest, you are better off learning the operating system. Once you do that, if you want to have aliases to move to the /usr/bin/ directory, then fine. Until then, you are better off picking up a book.
Sorry to be so blunt - but its the truth.

phalanx
PHALANX(6) Games Manual PHALANX(6)
NAME
Phalanx - Chess playing program
SYNOPSIS
phalanx [options] [<moves> <minutes> [<increment in seconds>]]
phalanx [options] [<seconds per move>]
phalanx bench
phalanx bcreate [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the phalanx program. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be
used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.
phalanx is a chess playing program. It is partially xboard compatible. Under xboard, it can play games, force & undo moves, and show
thinking. In this version, you cannot set positions with xboard.
It is also possible to run phalanx without xboard. Do phalanx -? to get a list of command line options. One important command of pha-
lanx's ASCII interface is help.
phalanx uses (traditional) 10x12 board implementation. There are three often used board implementations: "8x8" (GNU Chess), "bitboard"
(Crafty), and "10x12" (Nimzo, Phalanx). In short, "10x12" is easy to implement and the code is small (==fast on PC). Opening book is
small, simple, hand-written.
