+2 Basic operation
+*****************
To move a piece, you can drag it with the left mouse button, or you can
click the left mouse button once on the piece, then once more on the
-destination square. To drop a new piece on a square (when applicable),
-press the middle or the right mouse button over the square and select
-from the pop-up menu. In cases where you can drop either a white or
-black piece, use the middle button (or shift+right) for white and the
-right button (or shift+middle) for black. When you are playing a
-bughouse game on an Internet Chess Server, a list of the off-board
-pieces that each player has available is shown in the window title
-after the player's name; in addition, the piece menus show the number
-of pieces available of each type. From version 4.3.14 on, it is also
-possible in crazyhouse, bughouse or shogi to drag and drop pieces to
-the board from the holdings squares displayed next to the board. This
-latter method for dropping pieces during a game is preferred, and the
-piece-drop menu is now deprecated (except for editing a position).
-Although the old behavior can still be selected through a command-line
-option, the default function of the right mouse button is to display
-the position the chess program thinks it will end up in, while moving
-the mouse vertically with this button pressed will step through the
-principal variation to show how this position will be reached. Lines
-of play displayed in the engine-output window an similarly be played

+the board.
+
+ Old behavior, where right-clicking a square brings up a menu where
+you can select what piece to drop on it can still be selected through
+the `Drop Menu' option. Only in Edit Position mode right and middle
+clicking a square is still used to put a piece on it, and the piece to
+drop is selected by sweeping the mouse vertically with the button held
+down.
+
+ The default function of the right mouse button in other modes is to
+display the position the chess program thinks it will end up in. While
+moving the mouse vertically with this button pressed XBoard will step
+through the principal variation to show how this position will be
+reached. Lines of play displayed in the engine-output window, or PGN
+variations in the comment window can similarly be played out on the
+board, by right-clicking on them. Only in Analysis mode, when you walk
+along a PV, releasing the mouse button will forward the game upto that
+point, like you entered all previous PV moves. As the display of the
+PV in that case starts after the first move a simple right-click will
+play the move the engine indicates.
When connected to an ICS, it is possible to call up a graphical
representation of players seeking a game in stead of the chess board,
Most other XBoard commands are available from the menu bar. The most
frequently used commands also have shortcut keys or on-screen buttons.
-Some rarely used parameters can only be set through options on the
-command line used to invoke XBoard.
+These shortcut keystrokes are mostly non-printable characters. Typing
+a letter or digit while the board window has focus will bring up a
+type-in box with the typed letter already in it. You can use that to
+type a move in siuations where it is your turn to enter a move, type a
+move number to call up the position after that move in the display, or,
+in Edit Position mode, type a FEN. Some rarely used parameters can
+only be set through options on the command line used to invoke XBoard.
XBoard uses a settings file, in which it can remember any changes to
the settings that are made through menus or command-line options, so
user-specific file like ~/.xboardrc in the user's home directory.
When XBoard is iconized, its graphical icon is a white knight if it
-is White's turn to move, a black knight if it is Black's turn. See
-Iconize in *note Keys:: below if you have problems getting this feature
-to work.

+3 Menus, buttons, and keys
+**************************
-2.1 File Menu
+3.1 File Menu
=============
New Game
Similar to `New Game', but allows you to specify a particular
initial position (according to a standardized numbering system) in
chess variants which use randomized opening positions (e.g.
- Chess960). The selected opening position will persistently be
- chosen on any following New Game command until you use this menu
- to select another. Selecting position number -1 will produce a
- newly randomized position on any new game. Using this menu item
- in variants that normally do not shuffle their opening position
- does cause these variants to become shuffle variants until you use
- the `New Shuffle Game' menu to explicitly switch the randomization
- off, or select a new variant.

+ XBoard generate a random number for you. The thus selected
+ opening position will then persistently be chosen on any following
+ New Game command until you use this menu to select another.

+ switch the randomization off, or select a new variant.
New Variant
Allows you to select a new chess variant in non-ICS mode. (In ICS
must be able to play the selected variant, or the command will be
ignored. XBoard supports all major variants, such as xiangqi,
shogi, chess, chess960, Capablanca Chess, shatranj, crazyhouse,
- bughouse. (But not every board size has built-in bitmaps for
- un-orthodox pieces!)
+ bughouse. But not every board size has built-in bitmaps for
+ un-orthodox pieces! Only sizes bulky (72) and middling (49) have
+ all pieces, while size petite (33) has most. These sizes would
+ have to be set at startup through the `size' command-line option
+ when you start up XBoard for such variants to be playable.
+
+ You can overrule the default board format of the selected variant,
+ (e.g. to play suicide chess on a 6 x 6 board), in this dialog, but
+ normally you would not do that, and leave them at '-1', which
+ means 'default'.

to new squares, or to delete a piece by dragging it off the board
or dragging an empty square on top of it. To drop a new piece on
- a square, press mouse button 2 or 3 over the square. This brings
- up a menu of white pieces (button 2) or black pieces (button 3).
- Additional menu choices let you empty the square or clear the
- board. You can set the side to play next by clicking on the word
- White or Black at the top of the screen. Selecting `Edit

+ a square, press mouse button 2 or 3 over the square. This puts a
+ white or black pawn in the square, respectively, but you can
+ change that to any other piece type by dragging the mouse down
+ before you release the button. You will then see the piece on the
+ originally clicked square cycle through the available pieces
+ (including those of opposite color), and can release the button
+ when you see the piece you want. To alter the side to move, you
+ can click the clock (the words White and Black above the board) of
+ the side you want to give the move to. To clear the board you can
+ click the clock of the side that alread has the move (which is
+ highlighted in black). The old behavior with a piece menu can
+ still be configured with the aid of the `pieceMenu' option.
+ Selecting `Edit Position' causes XBoard to discard all remembered
+ moves in the current game.
In ICS mode, changes made to the position by `Edit Position' are
not sent to the ICS: `Edit Position' takes XBoard out of `ICS
saved by `Save Game' and are displayed by `Load Game', `Forward',
and `Backward'.
+Edit Book
+ Pops up a window listing the moves available in the GUI book
+ (specified in the `Common Engine Settings' dialog) from the
+ currently displayed position, together with their weights and
+ (optionally in braces) learn info. You can then edit this list,
+ and the new list will be stored back into the book when you press
+ OK. Note that the listed percentages are neither used, nor
+ updated when you change the weights; they are just there as an
+ optical aid.

If you are examining an ICS game and Pause mode is off, Revert
your local view forward, and it will not go past the position that
the game was in when you paused.

+ board. Here you can specify the directory from which piece images
+ should be taken, when you don't want to use the built-in piece
+ images (see `pixmapDirectory' and `bitmapDirectory' options), an

4. Select Analysis Mode from the Mode Menu to start the analysis.
+ You can now play legal moves to create follow-up positions for the
+ engine to analyze, while the moves will be remembered as a stored
+ game, and then step backward through this game to take the moves
+ back. Note that you can also click on the clocks to set the
+ opposite side to move (adding a so-called `null move' to the game).
+
The analysis function can also be used when observing games on an
ICS with an engine loaded (zippy mode); the engine then will
analyse the positions as they occur in the observed game.
-Analyze File
- This option lets you load a game from a file (PGN, XBoard format,
- etc.) and analyze it. The `Ctrl-F' key is a keyboard equivalent.
- When you select this menu item, a pop-up window appears and asks
- for a file name to load. If the file contains multiple games,
- another pop up appears that lets you select which game you wish to
- analyze. After a game is loaded, XBoard will start auto-playing
- the game, while the engine is analyzing the current position. The
- game will be annotated with the results of these analyses. In
- particlar, the score and depth will be added as a comment, and the
- PV will be added as a variation. The time the engine spends on
- analyzing each move can be controlled through the command-line
- option `-timeDelay'. Note: Some chess engines do not support
- Analysis mode.
+Analyze Game
+ This option subjects the currently loaded game to automatic
+ analysis by the loaded engine. The `Ctrl-G' key is a keyboard
+ equivalent. XBoard will start auto-playing the game from the
+ currently displayed position, while the engine is analyzing the
+ current position. The game will be annotated with the results of
+ these analyses. In particlar, the score and depth will be added
+ as a comment, and the PV will be added as a variation. The time
+ the engine spends on analyzing each move can be controlled through
+ the command-line option `-timeDelay'. Note: Some chess engines do
+ not support Analysis mode.
Edit Game
Duplicate of the item in the Edit menu. Note that `Edit Game' is
addition, the menu commands `Forward', `Backward', `Pause', and
`Stop Examining' have special functions in this mode; see below.
+Machine Match
+ Starts a match between two chess programs, with a number of games
+ and other parameters set through the `Match Options' menu dialog.
+ When a match is already running, selecting this item will make
+ XBoard drop out of match mode after the current game finishes.
+
Pause
Pauses updates to the board, and if you are playing against a
chess engine, also pauses your clock. To continue, select `Pause'

respectively. The PGN file of the game will accompany the result
string by the comment "user adjudication".
-2.6 Engine Menu
+3.6 Engine Menu
===============
+Load Engine
+ Pops up a dialog where you can select or specify an engine to be
+ loaded. You will always have to indicate whether you want to load
+ the engine as first or second engine, through the ‘Load
+ menitioned engine as’ drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog.
+ You can even replace engines during a game, without disturbing
+ that game. (Beware that after loading an engine, XBoard will
+ always be in Edit Game mode, so you will have to tell the new
+ engine what to do before it does anything!) When you select an
+ already installed engine from the ‘Select Engine from List’
+ drop-down list, all other fields of the dialog will be ignored.
+ In other cases, you have to specify the engine executable,
+ possible arguments on the engine command line (if the engine docs
+ say the engine needs any), and the directory where the engine
+ should look for its files (if this cannot be deduced automatically
+ from the specification of the engine executable). You will also
+ have to specify (with the aid of checkboxes) if the engine is UCI.
+ If ‘Add this engine to the list’ is ticked (which it is by
+ default), the engine will be added to the list of installed
+ engines in your settings file, (provided you save the settings!),
+ so that next time you can select it from the drop-down list. You
+ can also specify a ‘nickname’, under which the engine will
+ then appear in that drop-down list, and even choose to use that
+ nickname for it in PGN files for engine-engine games. The info
+ you supply with the checkboxes whether the engine should use GUI
+ book, or (for variant engines) automatically switch to the current
+ variant when loaded, will also be included in the list. For
+ obsolete XBoard engines, which would normally take a long delay to
+ load because XBoard is waiting for a response they will not give,
+ you can tick ‘WB protocol v1’ to speed up the loading process.
+
Engine #N Settings
Pop up a menu dialog to alter the settings specific to the
applicable engine. (The second engine is only accessible once it
depending on whether it is your opponent's move or yours. The
`Ctrl-X' key is a keyboard equivalent.
-2.7 Options Menu
-================
-
-Time Control
- Pops up a sub-menu where you can set the time-control parameters
- interactively. Allows you to select classical or incremental time
- controls, set the moves per session, session duration, and time
- increment. Also allows specification of time-odds factors for one
- or both engines. If an engine is given a time-odds factor N, all
- time quota it gets, be it at the beginning of a session or through
- the time increment or fixed time per move, will be divided by N.
- The shifted `Alt+T' key is a keyboard equivalent.
-
-Common Engine
- Pops up a sub-menu where you can set some engine parameters common
- to most engines, such as hash-table size, tablebase cache size,
- maximum number of processors that SMP engines can use, and where
- to find the Polyglot adapter needed to run UCI engines under
- XBoard. The feature that allows setting of these parameters on
- engines is new since XBoard 4.3.15, so not many XBoard/WinBoard
- engines respond to it yet, but UCI engines should. It is also
- possible to specify a GUI opening book here, i.e. an opening book
- that XBoard consults for any position a playing engine gets in.
- It then forces the engine to play the book move, rather than to
- think up its own, if that position is found in the book. The book
- can switched on and off independently for either engine. The
- shifted `Alt+U' key is a keyboard equivalent.
+Recently Used Engines
+ At the bottom of the engine menu there can be a list of names of
+ engines that you recently loaded through the Load Engine menu
+ dialog in previous sessions. Clicking on such a name will load
+ that engine as first engine, so you won't have to search for it in
+ your list of installed engines, if that is very long. The maximum
+ number of displayed engine names is set by the
+ `recentEngines'command-line option.
-Adjudications
- Pops up a sub-menu where you can enable or disable various
- adjudications that XBoard can perform in engine-engine games. The
- shifted `Alt+J' key is a keyboard equivalent. You can instruct
- XBoard to detect and terminate the game on checkmate or stalemate,
- even if the engines would not do so, to verify engine result
- claims (forfeiting engines that make false claims), rather than
- naively following the engine, to declare draw on positions which
- can never be won for lack of mating material, (e.g. KBK), or which
- are impossible to win unless the opponent seeks its own demise
- (e.g. KBKN). For these adjudications to work, `Test Legality'
- should be switched on. It is also possible to instruct XBoard to
- enforce a 50-move or 3-fold-repeat rule and automatically declare
- draw (after a user-adjustable number of moves or repeats) even if
- the engines are prepared to go on. It is also possible to have
- XBoard declare draw on games that seem to drag on forever, or
- adjudicate a loss if both engines agree (for 3 consecutive moves)
- that one of them is behind more than a user-adjustable score
- threshold. For the latter adjudication to work, XBoard should be
- able to properly understand the engine's scores. To facilitate the
- latter, you can inform xboard here if the engines report scores
- from the viewpoint of white, or from that of their own color.
-
-Game List
- Pops up a dialog where you can select the PGN tags that should
- appear on the lines in the game list, and their order.
+3.7 Options Menu
+================
-Always Queen
- If this option is off, XBoard brings up a dialog box whenever you
- move a pawn to the last rank, asking what piece you want to
- promote it to. If the option is true, your pawns are always
- promoted to queens. Your opponent can still under-promote. The
- shifted `Ctrl-Q' key is a keyboard equivalent.
+General Options
+ The following items to set option values appear in the dialog
+ summoned by the general Options menu item.
+
+Absolute Analysis Scores
+ Controls if scores on the Engine Output window during analysis
+ will be printed from the white or the side-to-move point-of-view.
+
+Almost Always Queen
+ If this option is on, 7th-rank pawns automatically change into
+ Queens when you pick them up, and when you drag them to the
+ promotion square and release them there, they will promote to that.
+ But when you drag such a pawn backwards first, its identity will
+ start to cycle through the other available pieces. This will
+ continue until you start to move it forward; at which point the
+ identity of the piece will be fixed, so that you can safely put it
+ down on the promotion square. If this option is off, what happens
+ depends on the option `alwaysPromoteToQueen', which would force
+ promotion to Queen when true. Otherwise XBoard would bring up a
+ dialog box whenever you move a pawn to the last rank, asking what
+ piece you want to promote to.
Animate Dragging
If Animate Dragging is on, while you are dragging a piece with the
square when the move is complete. The shifted `Ctrl-A' key is a
keyboard equivalent.
-Auto Comment
- If this option is on, any remarks made on ICS while you are
- observing or playing a game are recorded as a comment on the
- current move. This includes remarks made with the ICS commands
- `say', `tell', `whisper', and `kibitz'. Limitation: remarks that
- you type yourself are not recognized; XBoard scans only the output
- from ICS, not the input you type to it.
-
Auto Flag
If this option is on and one player runs out of time before the
other, XBoard will automatically call his flag, claiming a win on
will be automatically oriented so that your pawns move from the
bottom of the window towards the top.
-Auto Observe
- If this option is on and you add a player to your `gnotify' list
- on ICS, XBoard will automatically observe all of that player's
- games, unless you are doing something else (such as observing or
- playing a game of your own) when one starts. The games are
- displayed from the point of view of the player on your gnotify
- list; that is, his pawns move from the bottom of the window
- towards the top. Exceptions: If both players in a game are on
- your gnotify list, if your ICS `highlight' variable is set to 0,
- or if the ICS you are using does not properly support observing
- from Black's point of view, you will see the game from White's
- point of view.
-
-Auto Raise Board
- If this option is on, whenever a new game begins, the chessboard
- window is deiconized (if necessary) and raised to the top of the
- stack of windows.
-
-Auto Save
- If this option is true, at the end of every game XBoard prompts
- you for a file name and appends a record of the game to the file
- you specify. Disabled if the `saveGameFile' command-line option
- is set, as in that case all games are saved to the specified file.
- *Note Load and Save options::.
-
-Blindfold
- If this option is on, XBoard displays the board as usual but does
- not display pieces or move highlights. You can still move in the
- usual way (with the mouse or by typing moves in ICS mode), even
- though the pieces are invisible.
-
-Flash Moves
- If this option is on, whenever a move is completed, the moved
- piece flashes. The number of times to flash is set by the
- flashCount command-line option; it defaults to 3 if Flash Moves is
- first turned on from the menu.
-
If you are playing a game on an ICS, the board is always oriented
at the start of the game so that your pawns move from the bottom
of the window towards the top. Otherwise, the starting orientation
start of each game; if it is true, Black's pawns move from bottom
to top. *Note User interface options::.
-Get Move List
- If this option is on, whenever XBoard receives the first board of
- a new ICS game (or a different game from the one it is currently
- displaying), it retrieves the list of past moves from the ICS.
- You can then review the moves with the `Forward' and `Backward'
- commands or save them with `Save Game'. You might want to turn
- off this option if you are observing several blitz games at once,
- to keep from wasting time and network bandwidth fetching the move
- lists over and over. When you turn this option on from the menu,
- XBoard immediately fetches the move list of the current game (if
- any).
+Blindfold
+ If this option is on, XBoard displays the board as usual but does
+ not display pieces or move highlights. You can still move in the
+ usual way (with the mouse or by typing moves in ICS mode), even
+ though the pieces are invisible.
-Highlight Dragging
- If Highlight Dragging is on, and the option -showTargetSquares is
- also on in the settings file, all squares a piece that is 'picked
- up' with the mouse can legally move to are highighted with a fat
- colored dot in the highlightColor (non-captures) or
- premoveHighlightColor (captures). Legality testing must be on for
- XBoard to know how the piece moves.
+Drop Menu
+ Controls if right-clicking the board in crazyhouse / bughouse will
+ pop up a menu to drop a piece on the clicked square (old,
+ deprecated behavior) or allow you to step through an engine PV
+ (new, recommended behavior).
+
+Hide Thinking
+ If this option is off, the chess engine's notion of the score and
+ best line of play from the current position is displayed as it is
+ thinking. The score indicates how many pawns ahead (or if negative,
+ behind) the chess engine thinks it is. In matches between two
+ machines, the score is prefixed by `W' or `B' to indicate whether
+ it is showing White's thinking or Black's, and only the thinking
+ of the engine that is on move is shown. The shifted `Ctrl-H' key
+ is a keyboard equivalent.
Highlight Last Move
If Highlight Last Move is on, after a move is made, the starting
visible even when the width of the grid lines is set to zero.
Move Sound
- If this option is on, XBoard alerts you by playing a sound after
- each of your opponent's moves (or after every move if you are
- observing a game on the Internet Chess Server). The sound is not
- played after moves you make or moves read from a saved game file.
- By default, the sound is the terminal bell, but on some systems
- you can change it to a sound file using the soundMove option; see
- below.
-
- If you turn on this option when using XBoard with the Internet
- Chess Server, you will probably want to give the `set bell 0'
- command to the ICS, since otherwise the ICS will ring the terminal
- bell after every move (not just yours). (The `.icsrc' file is a
- good place for this; see *note ICS options::.)
-
-ICS Alarm
- When this option is on, an alarm sound is played when your clock
- counts down to the icsAlarmTime (by default, 5 seconds) in an ICS
- game. For games with time controls that include an increment, the
- alarm will sound each time the clock counts down to the
- icsAlarmTime. By default, the alarm sound is the terminal bell,
- but on some systems you can change it to a sound file using the
- soundIcsAlarm option; see below.
+ Enables the sounding of an audible signal when the computer
+ performs a move. For the selection of the sound, see `Sound
+ Options'. If you turn on this option when using XBoard with the
+ Internet Chess Server, you will probably want to give the `set
+ bell 0' command to the ICS, since otherwise the ICS will ring the
+ terminal bell after every move (not just yours). (The `.icsrc' file
+ is a good place for this; see *note ICS options::.)
One-Click Moving
If this option is on, XBoard does not wait for you to click both
(or capture) to. Furthermore, a double-click on a piece that can
only make a single capture will cause that capture to be made.
Promoting a Pawn by clicking its to-square will suppress the
- promotion popup, and make it promote to Queen.

+ and make it promote to Queen.
Periodic Updates
If this option is off (or if you are using a chess engine that
button or by clicking anywhere on the board, including
down-clicking to start a move.
-Premove
- If this option is on while playing a game on an ICS, you can
- register your next planned move before it is your turn. Move the
- piece with the mouse in the ordinary way, and the starting and
- ending squares will be highlighted with a special color (red by
- default). When it is your turn, if your registered move is legal,
- XBoard will send it to ICS immediately; if not, it will be ignored
- and you can make a different move. If you change your mind about
- your premove, either make a different move, or double-click on any
- piece to cancel the move entirely.
-
-Quiet Play
- If this option is on, XBoard will automatically issue an ICS `set
- shout 0' command whenever you start a game and a `set shout 1'
- command whenever you finish one. Thus, you will not be distracted
- by shouts from other ICS users while playing.
+Scores in Move List
+ If this option is on, XBoard will display the depth and score of
+ engine moves in the Move List, in the format of a PGN comment.
Show Coords
If this option is on, XBoard displays algebraic coordinates along
the board's left and bottom edges.
-Hide Thinking
- If this option is off, the chess engine's notion of the score and
- best line of play from the current position is displayed as it is
- thinking. The score indicates how many pawns ahead (or if negative,
- behind) the chess engine thinks it is. In matches between two
- machines, the score is prefixed by `W' or `B' to indicate whether
- it is showing White's thinking or Black's, and only the thinking
- of the engine that is on move is shown. The shifted `Ctrl-H' key
- is a keyboard equivalent.
+Show Target Squares
+ If this option is on, all squares a piece that is 'picked up' with
+ the mouse can legally move to are highighted with a fat colored
+ dot in the highlightColor (non-captures) or premoveHighlightColor
+ (captures). Legality testing must be on for XBoard to know how
+ the piece moves.
Test Legality
If this option is on, XBoard tests whether the moves you try to
starting on the d file are generally supported with Test Legality
on.)
+Flash Moves
+Flash Rate
+ If this option is non-zero, whenever a move is completed, the
+ moved piece flashes the specified number of times. The flash-rate
+ setting determines how rapidly this flashing occurs.
+
+Animation Speed
+ Determines the duration (in msec) of an animation step, when
+ `Animate Moving' is swiched on.
+
+Zoom factor in Evaluation Graph
+ Sets the valueof the `evalZoom' option, indicating the factor by
+ which the score interval (-1,1) should be blown up on the vertical
+ axis of the Evaluation Graph.
+
+Time Control
+ Pops up a sub-menu where you can set the time-control parameters
+ interactively. Allows you to select classical or incremental time
+ controls, set the moves per session, session duration, and time
+ increment. Also allows specification of time-odds factors for one
+ or both engines. If an engine is given a time-odds factor N, all
+ time quota it gets, be it at the beginning of a session or through
+ the time increment or fixed time per move, will be divided by N.
+ The shifted `Alt+T' key is a keyboard equivalent.
+
+Common Engine
+ Pops up a sub-menu where you can set some engine parameters common
+ to most engines, such as hash-table size, tablebase cache size,
+ maximum number of processors that SMP engines can use, and where
+ to find the Polyglot adapter needed to run UCI engines under
+ XBoard. The feature that allows setting of these parameters on
+ engines is new since XBoard 4.3.15, so not many XBoard/WinBoard
+ engines respond to it yet, but UCI engines should.
+
+ It is also possible to specify a GUI opening book here, i.e. an
+ opening book that XBoard consults for any position a playing
+ engine gets in. It then forces the engine to play the book move,
+ rather than to think up its own, if that position is found in the
+ book. The book can switched on and off independently for either
+ engine. The way book moves are chosen can be influenced through
+ the settings of book depth and variety. After both sides have
+ played more moves than the specified depth, the book will no
+ longer be consulted. When the variety is set to 50, moves will be
+ played with the probability specified in the book. When set to 0,
+ only the move(s) with the highest probability will be played.
+ When set to 100, all listed moves will be played with equal
+ pobability. Other settings interpolate between that. The shifted
+ `Alt+U' key is a keyboard equivalent.
+
+Adjudications
+ Pops up a sub-menu where you can enable or disable various
+ adjudications that XBoard can perform in engine-engine games. The
+ shifted `Alt+J' key is a keyboard equivalent. You can instruct
+ XBoard to detect and terminate the game on checkmate or stalemate,
+ even if the engines would not do so, to verify engine result
+ claims (forfeiting engines that make false claims), rather than
+ naively following the engine, to declare draw on positions which
+ can never be won for lack of mating material, (e.g. KBK), or which
+ are impossible to win unless the opponent seeks its own demise
+ (e.g. KBKN). For these adjudications to work, `Test Legality'
+ should be switched on. It is also possible to instruct XBoard to
+ enforce a 50-move or 3-fold-repeat rule and automatically declare
+ draw (after a user-adjustable number of moves or repeats) even if
+ the engines are prepared to go on. It is also possible to have
+ XBoard declare draw on games that seem to drag on forever, or
+ adjudicate a loss if both engines agree (for 3 consecutive moves)
+ that one of them is behind more than a user-adjustable score
+ threshold. For the latter adjudication to work, XBoard should be
+ able to properly understand the engine's scores. To facilitate the
+ latter, you can inform xboard here if the engines report scores
+ from the viewpoint of white, or from that of their own color.
+
+ICS Options
+ The following options occur in a dialog summoned by the ICS
+ Options menu item.
+
+Auto Kibitz
+ Setting this option when playing with or aginst a chess program on
+ an ICS will cause the last line of thinking output of the engine
+ before its move to be sent to the ICS in a kibitz command. In
+ addition, any kibitz message received through the ICS from an
+ opponent chess program will be diverted to the engine-output
+ window, (and suppressed in the console), where you can play
+ through its PV by right-clicking it.
+
+Auto Comment
+ If this option is on, any remarks made on ICS while you are
+ observing or playing a game are recorded as a comment on the
+ current move. This includes remarks made with the ICS commands
+ `say', `tell', `whisper', and `kibitz'. Limitation: remarks that
+ you type yourself are not recognized; XBoard scans only the output
+ from ICS, not the input you type to it.
+
+Auto Observe
+ If this option is on and you add a player to your `gnotify' list
+ on ICS, XBoard will automatically observe all of that player's
+ games, unless you are doing something else (such as observing or
+ playing a game of your own) when one starts. The games are
+ displayed from the point of view of the player on your gnotify
+ list; that is, his pawns move from the bottom of the window
+ towards the top. Exceptions: If both players in a game are on
+ your gnotify list, if your ICS `highlight' variable is set to 0,
+ or if the ICS you are using does not properly support observing
+ from Black's point of view, you will see the game from White's
+ point of view.
+
+Auto Raise Board
+ If this option is on, whenever a new game begins, the chessboard
+ window is deiconized (if necessary) and raised to the top of the
+ stack of windows.
+
+Auto Save
+ If this option is true, at the end of every game XBoard prompts
+ you for a file name and appends a record of the game to the file
+ you specify. Disabled if the `saveGameFile' command-line option
+ is set, as in that case all games are saved to the specified file.
+ *Note Load and Save options::.
+
+Background Observe
+ Setting this option will make XBoard suppress display of any boards
+ from observed games while you are playing. In stead the last such
+ board will be remembered, and shown to you when you right-click
+ the board. This allows you to peek at your bughouse partner's
+ game when you want, without disturbing your own game too much.
+
+Dual Board
+ Setting this option in combination with `Background Observe' will
+ display boards of observed games while you are playing on a second
+ board next to that of your own game.
+
+Get Move List
+ If this option is on, whenever XBoard receives the first board of
+ a new ICS game (or a different game from the one it is currently
+ displaying), it retrieves the list of past moves from the ICS.
+ You can then review the moves with the `Forward' and `Backward'
+ commands or save them with `Save Game'. You might want to turn
+ off this option if you are observing several blitz games at once,
+ to keep from wasting time and network bandwidth fetching the move
+ lists over and over. When you turn this option on from the menu,
+ XBoard immediately fetches the move list of the current game (if
+ any).
+
+Quiet Play
+ If this option is on, XBoard will automatically issue an ICS `set
+ shout 0' command whenever you start a game and a `set shout 1'
+ command whenever you finish one. Thus, you will not be distracted
+ by shouts from other ICS users while playing.
+
+Seek Graph
+ Setting this option will cause XBoard to display an graph of
+ currently active seek ads when you left-click the board while idle
+ and logged on to an ICS.
+
+Auto-Refresh Seek Graph
+ In combination with the `Seek Graph' option this will cause
+ automatic update of the seek graph while it is up. This only
+ works on FICS and ICC, and requires a lot of bandwidth on a busy
+ server.
+
+Premove
+Premove White
+Premove Black
+First White Move
+First Black Move
+ If this option is on while playing a game on an ICS, you can
+ register your next planned move before it is your turn. Move the
+ piece with the mouse in the ordinary way, and the starting and
+ ending squares will be highlighted with a special color (red by
+ default). When it is your turn, if your registered move is legal,
+ XBoard will send it to ICS immediately; if not, it will be ignored
+ and you can make a different move. If you change your mind about
+ your premove, either make a different move, or double-click on any
+ piece to cancel the move entirely.
+
+ You can also enter premoves for the first white and black moves of
+ the game.
+
+ICS Alarm
+ICS Alarm Time
+ When this option is on, an alarm sound is played when your clock
+ counts down to the icsAlarmTime in an ICS game. (By default, the
+ time is 5 seconds, but you can pecify other values with the Alarm
+ Time spin control.) For games with time controls that include an
+ increment, the alarm will sound each time the clock counts down to
+ the icsAlarmTime. By default, the alarm sound is the terminal
+ bell, but on some systems you can change it to a sound file using
+ the soundIcsAlarm option; see below.
+
+Colorize Messages
+ Ticking this options causes various types of ICS messages do be
+ displayed with different foreground or background colors in the
+ console. The colors can be individually selected for each type,
+ through the accompanying text edits.
+
+Match Options
+ Summons a dialog where you can set options important for playing
+ automatic matches between two chess programs (e.g. by using the
+ `Machine Match' menu item in the `Mode' menu).
+
+Tournament file
+ To run a tournament, XBoard needs a file to record its progress,
+ so it can resume the tourney when it is interrupted. When you
+ want to conduct anything more complex than a simple two-player
+ match with the currently loaded engines, (i.e. when you select a
+ list of participants), you must not leave this field blank. When
+ you enter the name of an existing tournament file, XBoard will
+ ignore all other input specified in the dialog, and will take them
+ from that tournament file. This resumes an interrupted
+ tournament, or adds another XBoard agent playing games for it to
+ those that are already doing so. Specifying a not-yet-existing
+ file will cause XBoard to create it, according to the tournament
+ parameters specified in the rest of the dialog, before it starts
+ the tournament on ‘OK’. Provided that you specify
+ participants; without participants no tournament file will be
+ made, but other entered values (e.g. for the file with opening
+ positions) will take effect. Default: configured by the
+ `defaultTourneyName' option.
+
+Sync after round
+Sync after cycle
+ The sync options, when on, will cause WinBoard to refrain from
+ starting games of the next round or cycle before all games of the
+ previous round or cycle are finished. This guarantees correct
+ ordering in the games file, even when multiple XBoard instances
+ are concurrently playing games for the same tourney. Default:
+ sync after cycle, but not after round.
+
+Select Engine
+Tourney participants
+ With the Select Engine drop-down list you can pick an engine from
+ your list of installed engines in the settings file, to be added
+ to the tournament. The engines selected so far will be listed in
+ the ‘Tourney participants’ memo. The latter is a normal text
+ edit, so you can use normal text-editing functions to delete
+ engines you selected by accident, or change their order. Do not
+ type names yourself there, because names that do not exactly match
+ one of the names from the drop-down list will lead to undefined
+ behavior.
+
+Tourney type
+ Here you can specify the type of tournament you want. XBoard’s
+ intrinsic tournament manager support round-robins (type = 0),
+ where each participant plays every other participant, and
+ (multi-)gauntlets, where one (or a few) so-called ‘gauntlet
+ engines’ play an independent set of opponents. In the latter
+ case, you specify the number of gauntlet engines. E.g. if you
+ specified 10 engines, and tourney type = 2, the first 2 engines
+ each play the remaining 8. A value of -1 instructs XBoard to play
+ Swiss; for this to work an external pairing engine must be
+ specified through the `pairingEngine' option. Each Swiss round
+ will be considered a tourney cycle in that case. Default:0
+
+Number of tourney cycles
+Default number of Games
+ You can specify tourneys where every two opponents play each other
+ multiple times. Such multiple games can be played in a row, as
+ specified by the ‘number of games per pairing’, or by
+ repeating the entire tournament schedule a number of times
+ (specified by the ‘number of tourney cycles’). The total
+ number of times two engine meet will be the product of these two.
+ Default is 1 cycle; the number of games per pairing is the same as
+ the default number of match games, stored in your settings file
+ through the `defaultMatchGames' option.
+
+Save Tourney Games
+ File where the tournament games are saved (duplicate of the item
+ in the `Save Game Options').
+
+Game File with Opening Lines
+File with Start Positions
+Game Number
+Position Number
+Rewind Index after
+ These items optionally specify the file with move sequences or
+ board positions the tourney games should start from. The
+ corresponding numbers specify the number of the game or position
+ in the file. Here a value -1 means automatic stepping through all
+ games on the file, -2 automatic stepping every two games. The
+ Rewind-Index parameter causes a stepping index to reset to one
+ after reaching a specified value. A setting of -2 for the game
+ number will also be effective in a tournament without specifying a
+ game file, but playing from the GUI book instead. In this case
+ the first (odd) games will randomly select from the book, but the
+ second (even) games will select the same moves from the book as
+ the previous game. (Note this leads to the same opening only if
+ both engines use the GUI book!) Default: No game or position file
+ will be used. The default index if such a file is used is 1.
+
+Disable own engine bools be default
+ Setting this option reverses the default situation for use of the
+ GUI opening book in tournaments from what it normally is, namely
+ not using it. So unless the engine is installed with an option to
+ explicitly specify it should not use the GUI book (i.e.
+ `-firstHasOwnBookUCI true'), it will be made to use the GUI book.
+
+Replace Engine
+Upgrade Engine
+ With these two buttons you can alter the participants of an
+ already running tournament. After opening the Match Options
+ dialog on an XBoard that is playing for the tourney, you will see
+ all the tourney parameters in the dialog fields. You can then
+ replace the name of one engine by that of another by editing the
+ `participants' field. (But preserve the order of the others!)
+ Pressing the button after that will cause the substitution. With
+ the `Upgrade Engine' button the substitution will only affect
+ future games. With `Replace Engine' all games the substituted
+ engine has already played will be invalidated, and they will be
+ replayed with the substitute engine. In this latter case the
+ engine must not be playing when you do this, but otherwise there
+ is no need to pause the tournament play for making a substitution.
+
+Clone Tourney
+ Pressing this button after you have specified an existing
+ tournament file will copy the contents of the latter to the dialog,
+ and then puts the originally proposed name for the tourney file
+ back. You can then run a tourney with the same parameters
+ (possibly after changing the proposed name of the tourney file for
+ the new tourney) by pressing 'OK'.
+
+Load Game Options
+ Summons a dialog where you can set the `autoDisplayComment' and
+ `autoDisplayTags' options, (which control popups when viewing
+ loaded games), and specify the rate at which loaded games are
+ auto-played, in seconds per move (which can be a fractional
+ number, like 1.6). You can also set search criteria for
+ determining which games will be displayed in the Game List for a
+ multi-game file, and thus be eligible for loading:
+
+Elo of strongest player
+Elo of weakest player
+year
+ These numeric fields set thresholds (lower limits) on the Elo
+ rating of the mentioned player, or the date the game was played.
+ Defaults: 0
+
+Search mode
+ This setting determines which positions in a game will be
+ considered a match to the position currently displayed in the
+ board window when you press the `find position' button in the Game
+ List. You can search for an exact match, a position that has all
+ shown material in the same place, but might contain additional
+ material, a position that has all Pawns in the same place, but can
+ have the shown material anywhere, a position that can have all
+ shown material anywhere, or a position that has material between
+ certain limits anywhere. For the latter you have to place the
+ material that must be present in the four lowest ranks of the
+ board, and optional additional material in the four highest ranks
+ of the board. You can request the optional material to be
+ balanced.
+
+number of consecutive positions
+ When you are searching by material, rather than for an exact match,
+ this parameter indicates forhowmany consecutive game positions the
+ same amount of material must be on the board before it is
+ considered a match.
+
+Also match reversed colors
+Also match left-right flipped position
+ When looking for matching positions rather than by material, these
+ settings determine whether mirror images (in case of a vertical
+ flip in combination with color reversal) will be also considered a
+ match. The left-right flipping is only useful after all castling
+ rights have expired (or in Xiangqi).
+
+Save Game Options
+ Summons a dialog where you can specify the files on which XBoard
+ should automtically save any played or entered games, (the
+ `saveGameFile' option), or the final position of such games (the
+ `savePositionfile' option). You can also select 'auto-save'
+ without a file name, in which case XBoard will prompt the user for
+ a file name after each game. You can also set the default value
+ for the PGN Event tag that will be used for each new game you
+ start. Various options for the format of the game can be
+ specified as well, such as whether scores and depths of engine
+ games should be saved as comments, and if a tag with info about
+ the score with which the engine came out of book should be
+ included. For Chess, always set the format to PGN, rather than
+ "old save stye"!
+
+Game List
+ Pops up a dialog where you can select the PGN tags that should
+ appear on the lines in the game list, and their order.
+
+Sound Options
+ Summons a dialog where you can specify the sounds that should
+ accompany various events that can occur XBoard. Most events are
+ only relevant to ICS play, but the move sound is an important
+ exception. For each event listed in the dialog, you can select a
+ standard sound from a menu. You can also select a user-supplied
+ sound file, by typing its name into the designated text-edit field
+ first, and then selecting "Above WAV File" from the menu for the
+ event. A dummy event has been provided for trying out the sounds
+ with the "play" button next to it. The directory with standard
+ sounds, and the external program for playing the sounds can be
+ specified too, but normally you would not touch these once XBoard
+ is properly installed. When a move sound other than 'None' is
+ selected, XBoard alerts you by playing that sound after each of
+ your opponent's moves (or after every move if you are observing a
+ game on the Internet Chess Server). The sound is not played after
+ moves you make or moves read from a saved game file.
+

+4.3 Tournament options
+======================
+
+-defaultMatchGames n
+ Sets the number of games that will be used for a match between two
+ engines started from the menu to n. Also used as games per pairing
+ in other tournament formats. Default: 10.
+
+-matchPause n
+ Specifies the duration of the pause between two games of a match
+ or tournament between engines as n milliseconds. Especially
+ engines that do not support ping need this option, to prevent that
+ the move they are thinking on when an opponent unexpectedly
+ resigns will be counted for the next game, (leading to illegal
+ moves there). Default: 10000.
+
+-tf filename or -tourneyFile filename
+ Specifies the name of the tournament file used in match mode to
+ conduct a multi-player tournament. This file is a special
+ settings file, which stores the description of the tournament
+ (including progress info), through normal options (e.g. for time
+ control, load and save files), and through some special-purpose
+ options listed below.
+
+-tt number or -tourneyType number
+ Specifies the type of tourney: 0 = round-robin, N>0 =
+ (multi-)gauntlet with N gauntlet engines, -1 = Swiss through
+ external pairing engine. Volatile option, but stored in tourney
+ file.
+
+-cy number or -tourneyCycles number
+ Specifies the number of cycles in a tourney. Volatile option, but
+ stored in tourney file.
+
+-participants list
+ The list is a multi-line text string that specifies engines
+ occurring in the `firstChesProgramNames' list in the settings file

+ The string of +=- characters lists the result of all played games
+ in a toruney. Games currently playing are listed as *, while a
+ space indicates a game that is not yet played or playing .
+ Volatile option, but stored in tourney file.
+
+-defaultTourneyName string
+ Specifies the name of the tournament file XBoard should propose
+ when the `Match Options' dialog is opened. Any %y, %M, %d, %h,
+ %m, %s in the string are replaced by the current year, month, day
+ of the month, hours, minutes, seconds of the current time,
+ respectively, as two-digit number. A %Y would be replaced by the
+ year as 4-digit number. Default: empty string.
+
+-pairingEngine filename
+ Specifies the external program to be used to pair the participants
+ in Swiss tourneys. XBoard communicates with this engine in the
+ same way as it communicates with Chess engines. The only commands
+ sent to the pairing engine are “results N string”, (where N is
+ the number of participants, and string the results so far in the
+ format of the results option), and “pairing N”, (where N is
+ the number of the tourney game). To the latter the pairing engine
+ should answer with “A-B”, where A and B are participant
+ numbers (in the range 1-N). (There should be no reply to the
+ results command.) Default: empty string.
+
+-afterGame string
+-afterTourney string
+ When non-empty, the given string will be executed as a system
+ command after each tournament game, orafterthe tourney completes,
+ respectively. This can be used, for example, to autmatically run
+ a cross-table generator on the PGN file where games are saved, to
+ update the tourney standings. Default: ""
+
+-syncAfterRound true/false
+-syncAfterCycle true/false
+ Controls whether different instances of XBoard concurrently
+ running the same tournament will wait for each other. Defaults:
+ sync after cycle, but not after round.
+
+-seedBase number
+ Used to store the seed of the pseudo-random-number generator in the
+ tourneyFile, so that separate instances of XBoard working on the
+ same tourney can take coherent 'random' decisions, such as picking
+ an opening for a given game number.

--pieceToSquareTable string
+-pieceToCharTable string
The characters that are used to represent the piece types XBoard
knows in FEN diagrams and SAN moves. The string argument has to
have an even length (or it will be ignored), as white and black
representation in FEN, which should be sufficient in normal use.
Default: ""
+-pieceNickNames string
+ The characters in the string are interpreted the same way as in the
+ `pieceToCharTable' option. But on input, piece-ID letters are
+ first looked up in the nicknames, and only if not defined there,
+ in the normal pieceToCharTable. This allows you to have two letters
+ designate the same piece, (e.g. N as an alternative to H for Horse
+ in Xiangqi), to make reading of non-compliant notations easier.
+ Default: ""
+
+-colorNickNames string
+ The side-to-move field in a FEN will be first matched against the
+ letters in the string (first character for white, second for
+ black), before it is matched to the regular 'w' and 'b'. This
+ makes it easier to read non-compliant FENs, which, say, use 'r'
+ for white. Default: ""
+
