I've got GNU Chess installed from ports, and have installed xboard and eboard.
When I try to start a new game from a normal user account in either xboard or eboard, I get the error:
I can run the game as root.
The permissions for the file are:

If I change the permissions to:
I can run the game without any errors.
Why would the game run under root with only read permission, yet not work under normal account with read permission? And why would allowing write permission to the files group matter, if it can be run by root with only read permission?

-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel

Code:
-r--rw-r-- 1 root wheel
