+<p>XBoard is a graphical user interface for chess in all its major
+forms, including international chess, xiangqi (Chinese chess) and
+shogi (Japanese chess), in addition to many minor variants such as
+Losers Chess, Crazyhouse, Chess960 and Capabanca Chess. It displays a
+chessboard on the screen, accepts moves made with the mouse, and loads
+and saves games in Portable Game Notation (PGN). It serves as a
+front-end for many different chess services, including:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+Chess engines that will run on your machine and play a game against
+you or help you analyze, such as GNU Chess, Crafty, or many
+others.</li>
+
+<li>Chess servers on the Internet, where you can connect to play chess
+with people from all over the world, watch other users play, or just
+hang out and chat.</li>
+
+<li>Correspondence chess played by electronic mail. The CMail program
+automates the tasks of parsing email from your opponent, playing his
+moves out on your board, and mailing your reply move after you've
+chosen it.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>XBoard runs on Unix and Unix-like systems that use the X Window
+System. </p>
+
+<h3>Winboard</h3>
+
+<p>The project also includes a port to 32-bit Windows systems called
+WinBoard.</p>
+<p>Development for Winboard as well as downloading it, reporting bugs
+and any other requests can be done at the same places as for
+XBoard.</p>
