In crazyhouse, bughouse or shogi you can +drag and drop pieces to the board from the holdings squares +displayed next to 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. + +
In Analysis mode you can also make a move by grabbing the piece +with a double-click of the left mouse button +(or while keeping the Ctrl key pressed). +In this case the move you enter will not be played, +but will be excluded from the analysis of the current position. +(Or included if it was already excluded; it is a toggle.) +This only works for engines that support this feature. + +
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, +when the latter is not in use +(i.e. when you are not playing or observing). +Left-clicking the display area will switch between this 'seek graph' +and the chess board. +Hovering the mouse pointer over a dot will show the details of the +seek ad in the message field above the board. +Left-clicking the dot will challenge that player. +Right-clicking a dot will 'push it to the back', +to reveal any dots that were hidden behind it. +Right-clicking off dots will refresh the graph. + +
Most other XBoard commands are available from the menu bar. The most +frequently used commands also have shortcut keys or on-screen buttons. +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 they will still apply when you restart XBoard for another session. +The settings can be saved into this file automatically when XBoard exits, +or on explicit request of the user. +The default name for the settings file is /etc/xboard/xboard.conf, +but in a standard install this file is only used as a master settings +file that determines the system-wide default settings, +and defers reading and writing of user settings to a 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 Keys below if you have problems getting this -feature to work. +it is White's turn to move, a black knight if it is Black's turn. + +

You can also tell the engine to exclude some moves from analysis. +(Engines that do not support the exclude-moves feature will +ignore this, however.) +The general way to do this is to play the move you want to exclude +starting with a double click on the piece. +When you use drag-drop moving, the piece you grab with a double click +will also remain on its square, to show you that you are not really +making the move, but just forbid it from the current position. +Playing a thus excluded move a second time will include it again. +Excluded moves will be listed as text in a header line in the +Engine Output window, and you can also re-include them by +right-clicking them there. +This header line will also contain the words 'best' and 'tail'; +right-clicking those will exclude the currently best move, +or all moves not explicitly listed in the header line. +Once you leave the current position all memory of excluded +moves will be lost when you return there. + +

+The analysis function can also be used when observing games on an ICS

Normally the analysis would stop after reaching the end of the game. +But when a game is loaded from a multi-game file +while ‘Analyze Game’ was already switched on, +the analysis will continue with the next game in the file +until the end of the file is reached (or you switch to another mode). + +
The time the engine spends on analyzing each move can be controlled

+Rename your ~/.xboardrc settings file (to ~/.yboardrc, say), and create

+before or after the settingsFile options.
+Note that when you specify persistent options after the settingsFile options
+in ~/.xboardrc, you will essentially turn them into volatile options
+with the specified value as default, because that value will overrule
+the value loaded from the settings file (being read later).
