It uses the R4 Athena +widgets and Xt Intrinsics to provide an interactive referee for managing a +chess game between a user and a computer opponent or between two computers. +You can also use XBoard without a chess program to play through games in files +or to play through games manually (force mode); in this case, moves aren't +validated by XBoard. XBoard manages a digital chess clock for each player and +resets the clocks if the proper number of moves are played within the time +control period. A game can be started with the initial chess position, with a +series of moves from a game file or with a position from a position file. The +"match" shell script runs a series of games between two machines, alternating +sides. The man page xboard.man describes the features of XBoard. + +XBoard was originally written by Dan Sears and Chris Sears. XBoard borrows its +colors, icons and piece bitmaps from XChess, which was written and copyrighted +by Wayne Christopher. We thank him for his work on XChess. Beginning with +version 2.0, Tim Mann has taken over development of XBoard. + +Report bugs to Tim Mann , with a carbon copy to Stuart +Cracraft . If you improve XBoard, please send +your changes to Tim and Stuart. + +CAVEATS + +XBoard depends on the R4 Xt Intrinsics and R4 Athena Widget Set. In +particular, R3 just won't do---XBoard uses features introduced in R4. The +standard DEC and SUN releases won't do either. The Athena widgets are either +missing in the DEC standard distribution or in the wrong (R3) place in SUN +OpenWindows. + +XBoard works best with version 4.0 of GNU Chess. (Older versions may also +work, but they are unsupported. The GNU Chess project requests that you get a +current copy of GNU Chess rather than using older, bug-ridden versions.) GNU +Chess must be compiled with the -DXBOARD flag for use with XBoard. Use the +"make gnuchessx" target in GNU Chess 4.0 to do this. + +The Free Software Foundation would prefer to be able to distribute an X +chessboard program covered only by the GNU General Public License and +unencumbered by any other copyright. If you can help with this, please +contact the FSF.
