Body: <p>I've recently learned about gnu chess, but it's poorly documented, and I'm having difficulties:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Setting a reasonable difficulty level;</li>
  <li>Saving an entire game to a pgn: it's only saving the last move;</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>How can I do this?
  Is there an e-book or a good tutorial I can follow?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
  
  <p>Update (2/8/15):  Actually,  it's the version of gnuchess that's packaged with Debian 7 (6.0.2) that has a bug; after compiling 6.2.1 pgnsave worked normally.</p>

  You can save games with:
  pgnsave FILENAME
  
  This saves the game played so far from memory to a file.
