<P><font color="#ff0000">These are options that UCI engines expect to be specified.</font> <font color="#3333ff">WinBoard protocol now also allows native WinBoard engines to request similar information, so it might be used for these engines as well. The memory size specified by the WinBoard-protocol memory command is the sum of the hash and EGTB cache sizes. The specified opening book, when enabled through the Use Book check box, will be used as GUI book for engines that do not have their own book (as indicated by the check boxes). It must be a book in Polyglot format.</font></P>\r

+<P><font color="#3333ff">This pops up a dialog that allows the user to set engine-defined options of the mentioned engine (if it is in use). What is in the dialog is entirely determined by the engine. Generally, any changes you make to the controls are only sent to the engine after you press OK. An exception are engine-defined push buttons; the corresponding signal is sent to the engine immediately when you push those. To see the options of UCI engines, you need a Polyglot adapter that supports the recent WB-protocol extensions.</font></P>\r

+\r
+<P><font color="#FF00FF">Auto Kibitz controls how output of computers playing on an ICS is handled. In many tournaments, computers are obliged to kibitz their thinking output to the ICS, and this option will do that automatically, without the engine having to know it. In addition, such kibitzed output by your opponent will be kept out of the console window, and will be diverted to the engine-output window.</font></P>\r

\r
<P>If Get Move List is on, whenever WinBoard<I> </I>receives the first board of a new ICS game (or a different ICS game from the one it is currently displaying), it retrieves the list of past moves from the server. 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. If you turn this option on while a game is in progress, WinBoard<I> </I>immediately fetches the current move list.</P>\r

+\r
+<P><font color="#FF00FF">If Seek Graph is on, you can summon up a graphical representation of players seeking a game on the ICS in stead of the chess board, by left-clicking the latter when you are not using it. The requested games are separated out by rating and time control. Rated, unrated and wild games are displayed in different colors, computers as squares, humans as dots. Hovering the mouse over a dot in the graph will display the details of the corresponding seek ad in the message field above the board. Left-clicking the dot will take up the challenge. Right-clicking dots will push them to the back, so you can see seek ads that might have been hidden behind it. Right-clicking off dots will refresh the graph, left-clicking off dots will take the graph down ad display the chess board again.</font></P>\r
+\r
+<P><font color="#FF00FF">In combination with Auto Refresh, the seek graph will be updated automatically. This is only implemented for the FICS and ICC servers. To make switching on of this option effective might require you to log off and on again to the ICS, as it requires changing ICS settings that are locked during a session.</font></P>\r

+\r
+<P><font color="#FF00FF">If Background Observe is on, boards sent to you by the ICS when you are playing, but which are not of your game, (but of games you are observing), will not be displayed automatically. In stead WinBoard will remember the last board it received that way, and display it when you press the right mouse button in stead of the board of your own game. This feature is meant to enable bughouse players a peek at their partners game, without the need to log on to the ICS a second time.</font></P>\r
+\r
+<P><font color="#FF00FF">If in addition Dual Board is also on, such background games are even displayed on a second board, side by side with your own game, so that it is always in view. This feature is experimental, and largely undeveloped; there is no animation of moves on this second board, while the effets are undefined if the board format of the observed game is not the same as that of your own game.</font></P>\r

<P><B><A NAME="premovecmd"></A>Premove</B></P>\r
\r
<P>Premove allows you to play a move on the board before you have received your opponents move. This move is highlighted on the board using the <A HREF="16.htm#premovehighlightcolor">Premove Highlight</A> color, and is sent to the ICS as soon as your opponents move is received. To cancel a premove, either click twice on the piece that was premoved or premove an illegal move.</P>\r

+\r
+\r
+<P><font color="#FF00FF">When One-Click Move is set, a click on an own piece will immediately move that piece if it only has a single legal move, without waiting for you to click a to-square. Similarly, clicking an opponent piece or empty square will immediately perform the move to that square, if only a single legal move to it existed. This is the mouse equivalent of having to type only e4 when you mean e2-e4. Finally, double clicking an own piece (or clicking an already selected piece) will make it execute its only capture, which can save you some time if the target square was far away. Legality testing has to be switched on for this to work.</font></P>\r

<P>Lets you change the fonts WinBoard is using. The clock font, message font and coordinates font are specific to each board size.

The Revert to Defaults button will reset the clock font, message font and coordinates font for the current board size, and will set the tags font, message font and Ics Interaction font for all board sizes.</P>\r
\r
<P>With incremental clocks, each player is given an initial time allotment, and a <A HREF="12.htm#timeincrement">timeIncrement</A> is added to his clock after every move. The increment may be zero, in which case the entire game must be finished within the initial time allotment.</P>\r
