#This script auto-downloads, compiles, moves the executable of stockfish to /usr/games and rename the .ini file of polyglot to the newest SF version so that it is ready to use with xboard. The idea is to execute it with permission (sudo) because moving a file in /usr/games requires permission and deleting Stockfish folder also requires permissions.
