lots of documentation was available in several places, old unused source files and not used graphics file were floating around in the tree. This should clean up most of it. No need to keep these files around, especially since we are using version control.
-** Announcing the release of XBoard and WinBoard, version 4.4.0 **
-
-XBoard is a graphical chessboard for the X Window System that can
-serve as a user interface for GNU Chess, Crafty, and other chess
-engines, for the Internet Chess Servers, and for electronic mail
-correspondence chess. XBoard can also be used by itself. It can read
-and write game files in PGN (portable game notation).
-
-WinBoard is a similar program for 32-bit Microsoft Windows. It
-includes all the major features of XBoard except email correspondence
-chess.
+** Version 4.4.0 **
A new release of both XBoard and WinBoard is now available. Version
4.4.0 includes many changes. It is the first major release of
If you find a bug, please report it in the bug tracker at
https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/xboard/ or by email to bug-xboard
(AT) gnu.org.
+
+
+** Version 4.3.16 **
+
+New command-line options
+/niceEngines=N for adjusting the priority of engine processes so they don't soak up all your system resources
+/firstOptions="..." Allows the setting of options that engines define through the feature option="..." commands
+/secondOptions="..."
+/firstLogo=filename.bmp Displays the mentioned bitmap next to the clock (with H:W =1:2 aspect ratio) (WB only)
+/secondLogo=filename.bmp
+/autoLogo=false get logo files automatically from engineDirectory\logo.bmp
+
+General enhancements:
+* New WB-protocol command: 'feature option="NAME -TYPE VALUE OTHER"', which engines can use to define options
+* New WB-protocol command: 'option NAME VALUE' used to set value of engine-defned options.
+* implements /delayAfterQuit and /delayBeforeQuit in XBoard, and uses SIGKILL to terminate rogue engine processes
+
+
+** Version 4.3.15 **
+
+New command-line options
+/rewindIndex=N (for the new auto-increment mode of the loadGameIndex or loadPositionIndex in match mode)
+/sameColorGames=N (for playing a match where the same player has white all the time)
+/egtFormats="..." (for specifying where various end-game tables are installed on the computer)
+
+New menu items
++ Time-odds factors can be set in the time-control dialog
++ Nr of CPUs for SMP engines can be set in the Options -> UCI dialog
++ Own-Book options can be switched from the Options -> UCI dialog
++ The ScoreIsAbs options can be set from the Options -> Engine dialog
++ New-Variant menu adds Superchess
+
+General Enhancements:
+* WinBoard engines can now also use the Polyglot opening book (implemented as general GUI book)
+* New WB-protocol commands memory, cores and egtpath make interactive setting of these parameters
+ possible on WB engines
+* New Polyglot is available that relays the interactive setting of these parameters to UCI engines
+* Match mode suports an auto-increment mode, so that all games or positions from a file can be played
+* Draw claims with Kings and an arbitrary number of like Bishops (e.g. KBBKB) are accepted
+
+The source tree in original xboard 4.2.7 format can now be compiled under Cygwin with the aid
+of the cygwin.mak file in the ~/winboard/ subdirectory of the source releasy, after you put
+the hep-file from an executabl distribution there. Maefiles for other compilers are not updated
+since 4.2.7, as I do not have those compilers.
+
+
+** Version 4.3.14k **
+
+Compared to version 4.3.13 described below, this version features
+
+New command-line options:
+/autoKibitz (for relaying the PV info of the engine to the ICS)
+/userName="..." (for setting the name of the Human player, also as menu)
+/engineDebugOutput=N (controlling the writing of engine output to debug file)
+/firstNPS=N (for time management by node count or CPU time)
+/secondNPS=N (likewise for the other engine)
+
+New Menu items
++ Enter Username (same as /userName command-line option)
++ Save Diagram (for saving the Chessboard display as bitmap file)
++ Machine Both (not implemented yet, but menu item already provided)
++ New-Variant menu adds CRC, Janus and Berolina (the latter only with legality testing off!)
++ Any variant can be played from a shuffled opening setup
+
+Bugfixes:
+* Problems with switching the variant in ICS zippy mode solved
+* In ICS observing mode game history is now fully accessible
+* Moves are not fed to engine in zippy mode, when observing a game from a variant unknown to the engine
+* a problem with loading PGN of FRC games with move disambiguation and initial castling rights was fixed.
+* A bug in the clock display that made previous versions of WinBoard crash for tiny displays is fixed
+
+General enhancements:
+* variant name displayed in title bar in ICS mode, when not 'normal'
+* when receiving a challenge in ICS zippy mode, it is checked if the engine supports the variant (/zippyVariants="..." can still be used to limit the allowed variants, and for protocol-1 engines is still the only thing to go on)
+* when loading a game from a PGN file, WB automatically switches to the variant specified in the PGN tags
+* when starting from a loaded position (using /loadPositionFile), this position will be used on subsequent 'New Game' commands as well (until we switch variant)
+
+New is also that the source tree is now brought back in the original WinBoard 4.2.7 format, including
+xboard source files. Note, however, that the xboard sources are from an older date, and I did not test
+if they still compile together with the much newer backend sources. I did add code in xboard.c to recognize
+the new command-line options I added since then, and in so far they are back-end options that should be enough
+to make them work. This is completely untested, though; I did not even try to compile it. Last time anyone
+built a working xboard.exe from this was at a stage where WinBoard did have adjustable board size, allowing
+it to play Xiangqi. But no crazyhouse holdings yet.
+
+
+** Version 4.3.13a **
+
+This version of WinBoard_F fixes several bugs in 4.3.12, and also addse a few new features.
+The new features include:
+- some more fairy pieces, so that each side now has 22 piece types in stead of 17,
+making most fairy pieces available in board size "petite" (next to "bulky" and "middling"),
+making the ArchBishop and Chancellor, as well as one wildcard piece (the Lance) available in all
+sizes from "petite" to "bulky".
+- The FRC support is fully fixed, both in local and ICS mode.
+- A mechanism is provided for safe draw claiming in cases where a 3-fold repetition woud occur only
+ after your own move. In this case a draw will be awarded by WinBoard if the engine sends "offer draw"
+ before making its move.
+- Genuine draw offers are not passed on immediately to the opponent but held up to when the offerer announces
+ its move.
+- Variants FRC, Cylinder and Falcon are added to the "New Variant..." menu.
+- Support for playing time-odds games is added. (Options /firstTimeOdds, /secondTimeOdds, /timeOddsMode)
+- A mechanism is provided for attaching WinBoard options to the engine command, to create options that
+follow the engine (e.g. time odds) in a tournament run under a tournament manager.
+Bugfixes include:
+- Shatranj in ICS mode (did not work at all before)
+- Some draw adjudications (QRKR was mistaken for KRKR, and KBKB with like Bishops is now recognized)
+- time info in the PGN is now correct
+
+
+
+** Version 4.3.14 **
+
+This relaese was not made by the GNU xboard team, but by H.G.Muller.
+It mainly contains developments on WinBoard. Nevertheless, an attempt
+has been started to back-port the enormous number of improvements that
+have been made to WinBoard since the Linux and Windows developments branched
+to xboard. This is reflected by the source tree now having the same format
+as that of xboard 4.2.7, including all the xboard sources.
+
+An enormous amount of work still has to be done to make the xboard version
+fully equivalent to WinBoard, especially on user-interface side. As a modest
+beginning, the xboard source files have been patched to allow their compilation
+with the newer back-end files from WinBoard. To this end, the number of piece
+types in xboard has been increased from 6 to 22, and the WinBoard bitmaps
+have been converted to xboard source format (.bm) and are included in the
+xboard bitmaps directory. Other quick patches include the coloring of the
+board squares (for xiangqi and holdings), and some code in the user-move
+handling to suppress all moves into or out of the area between board and
+holdings in crazyhouse, and the treatment of king-captures-own-piece
+as a possibly valid move (for FRC castling). This should make it possible
+to run xboard with the new back-end files without too much inconvenience.
+
+New xboard command-line options have been added to make the added back-end
+features available. The include the new variants (as argument of the old
+-variant option), -boardWidth, -boardHeight and -holdingsSize. Be sure
+to call xboard with "-boardSize middling" or "-boardSize bulky" if you
+want to play with fairy pieces, or xboard might crash due to unavailability
+of bitmaps. Other added xboard options are:
+
+ADJUDICATION OPTIONS:
+-checkMates
+-testClaims
+-materialDraws
+-trivialDraws
+-ruleMoves
+-repeatsToDraw
+-adjudicateLossThreshold
+-firstScoreAbsolute
+-secondScoreAbsolute
+
+TIME-CONTROL OPTIONS
+-firstTimeOdds
+-secondTimeOdds
+-timeOddsMode
+-firstNPS
+-secondNPS
+
+GENERAL OPTIONS
+-matchPause
+-engineDebugOutput
+-userName
+-pgnExtendedInfo
+-pgnEventHeader
+-hideThinkingFromHuman
+
+This is all completely untested, but as the options merely switch on well-tested
+code in the back-end, there should not be too many problems with them.
+Bugs can be reported in the WinBoard forum.

- Version 2, June 1991
-
- Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
- 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA
- 02111-1307, USA.
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
- Preamble
-
- The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
- When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
- To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
- We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
-(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
- Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-authors' reputations.
-
- Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
- The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-\f
- GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
- 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
-refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
-means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
-language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
-the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-
-Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
-running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
- 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
-source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
-conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
-copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
-notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
-and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
-along with the Program.
-
-You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
-you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
- 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
-of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
-distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
-above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
- a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
- stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
- b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
- whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
- part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
- parties under the terms of this License.
-
- c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
- when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
- interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
- announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
- notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
- a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
- these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
- License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
- does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
- the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
-\f
-These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
-identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
-and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
-themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
-sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
-distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
-on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
-this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
-entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
-Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-collective works based on the Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
-a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
-the scope of this License.
-
- 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
-under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
-Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
- a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
- source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
- 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
- b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
- years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
- cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
- machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
- distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
- customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
- c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
- to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
- allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
- received the program in object code or executable form with such
- an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
-
-The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
-code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
-control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
-special exception, the source code distributed need not include
-anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
-form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
-operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
-itself accompanies the executable.
-
-If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
-access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
-access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
-distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
-compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-\f
- 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
-except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
-void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
-this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-parties remain in full compliance.
-
- 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
-signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
-distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
-prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
-modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-the Program or works based on it.
-
- 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
-restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
-this License.
-
- 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
-distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
-may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
-license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
-all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
-the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
-If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
-any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
-apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
-circumstances.
-
-It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
-implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
-generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
-through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
-system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
-to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
-impose that choice.
-
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-\f
- 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
-certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
-original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
-may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
-those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
-countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
-the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
- 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
-specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
-later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
-either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
-Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
-this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
-Foundation.
-
- 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
-programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
-to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
-Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
-make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
-of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
-of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
- NO WARRANTY
-
- 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
-FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
-OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
-PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
-OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
-MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
-TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
-PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
-REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
- 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
-REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
-INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
-OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
-TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
-YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
-PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
-POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
- END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-\f
- Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
- If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
- To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
- <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
- Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
-
- This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
- it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
- the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
- (at your option) any later version.
-
- This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
- but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
- MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
- GNU General Public License for more details.
-
- You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
- along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
- Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.
-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
-when it starts in an interactive mode:
-
- Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
- Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
- This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
- under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-
-The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
-parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
-be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
-mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
-
-You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
-school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
-necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
-
- Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
- `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
-
- <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
- Ty Coon, President of Vice
-
-This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
-proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may

-ChangeLog for XBoard/WinBoard
-
-* 11/26/2003: In WinBoard, setting the -debug flag now logs ICS output
-to WinBoard.debug too. (This isn't needed in xboard because ICS
-output already goes to stdout, so it's easy to capture along with the
-debug output on stderr.) This was issue #280 in the ToDo file.
-
-* 11/23/2003: Cleaned up some minor problems in cygwin.mak. Thanks to
-Hans Werner Strube for the problem report.
-
-* 11/23/2003: Updated the default list of chess servers in
-winboard/defaults.h. Deleted two that appear to be dead and added a
-new one that is active.
-
-* 11/19/2003: Swapped icon_white.bm and icon_black.bm in XBoard.
-Hopefully this will get them the right way around by default on more X
-window managers. I wish I understood this better.
-
-* 11/18/2003: Implemented a simple 32-bit random number generator for
-WinBoard, replacing the Windows rand(), which ranges only up to
-0x7fff. Formerly on Windows, only zippy.lines sayings that started in
-the first 32767 bytes of the file could ever be used. This was issue
-#505 from the ToDo file.
-
-* 11/16/2003: The xboard man page and info files are now built from a
-common set of texinfo source files, and the xboard man page now covers
-cmail as well. Formerly, ever since the texinfo file was first
-contributed to the project, it was separate from the man page and the
-two files had to be updated in parallel, making for a maintenance
-nightmare. To make combining the files possible, I took the Perl
-script "texi2man" from the GNU Units project and added support for a
-larger subset of the texinfo markup language. I then carefully
-compared the old man page and old texinfo file to make sure the latest
-and clearest words survived into the new combined texinfo file. It
-would be great to merge in WinBoard's help file too, but that's a
-larger project. It would have to be heavily conditionalized to
-deal with differences in features between XBoard and WinBoard.
-
-* 11/15/2003: Cleaned up and applied a small patch from Daniel
-Mehrmann, to stop overly long PVs in thinking output from causing a
-buffer overflow crash in backend.c.
-
-* 11/5/2003: When a chess engine sends a "telluser" command (including
-the cases where "tellall" or "tellopponent" acts like telluser), the
-information now goes into a nonmodel popup that is automatically
-dismissed when the user clicks anywhere on the board. This fix is
-more significant on WinBoard, where formerly you got a fully modal
-dialog that had to be dismissed by clicking on OK before anything else
-could happen. The bug was issue #406 in the ToDo file.
-
-* 11/1/2003: Removed email addresses from this file to reduce spam
-load, as it gets linked to from the Web.
-
-* 11/1/2003: Updated READ_ME and winboard/READ_ME.txt.
-
-* Modified xboard and winboard makefiles to be able to build the
-project in the new combined directory structure.
-
-* Applied a small security fix to pxboard, from Martin Maeok.
-
-* Fixed a bug in the game list dialog. The change in 4.2.6 to opening
-games in text mode (meant to avoid getting extra \r's into comments)
-caused a new bug in determining seek offsets when parsing a game file
-to form the game list. Also, the change was incomplete; on some code
-paths games were still being opened in binary mode. Thanks to Lenik
-Terenin for reporting the offset bug. I've now gone back to always
-using binary mode when reading game files, and I've fixed the comment
-bug by adding code to remove \r's from parsed comments explicitly. I
-still use text mode for writing game files so that games written by
-WinBoard will have Windows-style line endings.
-
-* Fix for minor bug in WinBoard installer. If you chose a non-default
-destination directory, the default directory was still used for a
-couple of unimportant things, namely setting the App Paths registry
-keys (unused by WinBoard) and trying to copy the existing WinBoard.ini
-file to WinBoard.old. I inherited this bug from the InstallShield 5
-sample template. Thanks to "l.d." for noticing the incorrect keys.
-
-* Patch from Chris Priest: when two engines are being run through rsh,
-avoid reusing the same stderr port for both. I'm not sure why this
-should be needed, but it's harmless, at least.
-
-* Bugfix: The kludge to deal with old engines that give an error
-message because they don't know the "st" command was too sloppy; it
-could hit on an "st" substring anywhere in an error message. GNU
-Chess 4 is the only engine I know of where the kludge was needed, so I
-changed the kludge to match a longer, more GNU-specific string.
-
-* Changed the WinBoard self-extracting installer to choose a unique
-temporary subdirectory name within the Windows temp directory instead
-of always putting wb-setup directly in temp. Besides being better
-practice, this avoids the need to deltree wb-setup first, which
-occasionally alarms someone who thinks that deltree is only used by
-trojans to delete all your files. (Yes, I'm serious.)
-
-* Fixed a bug where FICS-style "wild/0" strings were not parsed as the
-proper wild type. The "/" was not being skipped.
-
-* Fixed a WinBoard bug where temporary files created by game
-copy/paste were being created in the root directory of the current
-drive instead of the TMP directory and were not always deleted on exit.
-
-* Fixed a small bug in winboard.c's ErrorDialog() function. Thanks to
-"Ron" (no last name given). The bug might have caused a problem when
-pressing OK or Cancel in an error dialog when more than one error
-dialog was being displayed, but I'm not really sure.
-
-* Removed a hack that worked around a bug in very old versions of
-Crafty, where it would sometimes reply "illegal move" to a "."
-command. The hack kept us from recognizing real illegal move messages
-in analyze mode from engines that don't respond to the "." command.
-Thanks to Fabien Letouzey for the report.
-
-* Fixed a bug in the xboard version of GetDelayedEvent. It would
-return the most recently scheduled event even if it had already fired.
-This caused at least one visible error: in -ics -xreuse mode, starting
-the engine again and seeing another "feature done=1" would re-run the
-initialization code in InitBackEnd3, including the code that opens the
-connection to ICS. The WinBoard version didn't have this bug. Thanks
-to Bob Hyatt for the bug report.
-
-* The promotion popup for ICC wild 26 (giveaway) now includes King.
-Thanks to Fredrik Josefsson for the bug report.
-
-* The first game in a file (or being pasted from the clipboard) can
-now start with a bare move -- no PGN tags, no move number "1", etc.
-Suggested by Shane Harrelson. One could imagine taking this farther
-and accepting something like "e4 e5 1/2-1/2 d4 d5" as two games, but
-I haven't done that.
-
-* Bug fix: xboard didn't really accept a paste of multiple games,
-contrary to what I wrote when adding the feature to WinBoard in
-4.2.4. Now it works in both.
-
-* Fixed generic start/end of game messages to work on chess.net, where
-they put ratings in parens after the player names.
-
-* Updated config.sub and config.guess to newer versions from
-automake-1.4p5-2. This makes configure work with MacOS X + X11.
-
-* Bugfix: when examining a game fragment on FICS where black plays
-first, don't show two "(0:00.000)" times on the initial "none" move.
-
-* If TestLegality is on and one of the engines makes an illegal move
-in TwoMachines mode, it forfeits immediately. Formerly the game would
-get stuck at that point and the engine that made the illegal move
-would eventually lose on time.
-
-xboard/WinBoard 4.2.6 -- Fri Feb 1 22:26:31 PST 2002
-Tim Mann
-
-Another small bugfix release.
-
-* Put in a small change from Alexander Mai to allow xboard to build in
-an OS/2 EMX environment.
-
-* Fix WinBoard-only bug where editing a PGN file with comments would
-insert more \r characters before the \n after every Load/Save cycle.
-For some unknown reason we were reading the files in "rb" mode but
-writing them in "a" mode, so we kept the \r characters on reading and
-added an extra one on writing. Fix: change the "rb" to "r". Thanks
-to Joel (last name not given) for the bug report.
-
-* Put the arguments to rsh/remsh in the right order for better
-portability. Thanks to Michael Kalisz.
-
-* FreezeUI is now implemented in WinBoard; it was previously only
-implemented in xboard. This function prevents the user from entering
-moves or other commands while we are waiting for an engine to
-initialize itself. Implementing it fixes a bug where the user could
-start a game (etc.) during feature negotiation. One of the symptoms
-of this bug was that we could send "new" one or move moves *after* the
-first game started!
-
-* Fixed some handle leaks (WinBoard only), including a nasty one that
-leaked one handle per command sent to ICS. Thanks to several folks
-who helped characterize the bug and tried to look for leaks.
-
-* We now install and look for the info file in ${prefix}/share/info
-instead of ${prefix}/info. The latter is still the default in
-autoconf, but the former is currently used in Red Hat Linux and
-probably elsewhere.
-
-xboard/WinBoard 4.2.5 -- Sat Dec 15 11:42:51 PST 2001
-Tim Mann
-
-* Changed the bundled GNU Chess 5.02 in the WinBoard package to
-include a much smaller book and to use much less hash table space by
-default (8 MB transposition table, 0.5 MB pawn evaluation table). The
-large book included with 4.2.4 made the WinBoard download too big for
-some people, and the default hash tables were larger than the
-available physical memory on some people's computers. I built the
-small book by running Crafty's "small.zip" book line collection
-through a Perl script that makes it look enough like real PGN games
-that the GNU Chess book builder will accept it. The script and some
-minor patches to GNU Chess 5 are available in the WinBoard source
-distribution and at http://www.tim-mann.org/gnuchess.html.
-
-* Fixed a bug in the code that deals with engines that complain that
-"time" and "otim" are illegal moves. This was a new bug in 4.2.4.
-
-* Revamped the implementation of ToStart in analysis mode. Formerly
-there was some ill-conceived code that would try to get back to the
-start of the game by doing a "new" command (and all the followup
-commands that requires) while remaining in analysis mode. This is
-problematic for engine authors to support, though it works with
-Crafty. This code was trying to solve the problem of ToStart being
-slow because the engine would try to start an analysis after every
-"undo" command all the way back to the start. But ToEnd already had a
-much better solution to this problem, and now ToStart does the same
-thing: we exit from analysis mode and enter force mode instead,
-make/unmake moves to get to the end/start of the game, and then
-reenter analysis mode.
-
-* Formerly, Zippy could try to start playing a game before the engine
-was initialized; that is, during the initial timeout for protover 1
-engines, or before "feature done=1" for protover 2 engines. We now
-wait until the engine is initialized before connecting to ICS, which
-fixes this in the common case. If you turn off engine reuse for
-multiple games (that is, if you give the -xreuse option), there could
-still be problems; see item 503 in the ToDo file. Thanks to Dieter
-Buerssner for the bug report.
-
-* Bugfix: All WinBoard versions since the merge with WinBoard Plus
-(but not xboard) have had a bug in changing the PeriodicUpdates,
-PonderNextMove, and ShowThinking options from the menu. The bug
-mostly just caused changing these options during a game to not take
-effect until after the next reset. For TwoMachines games, though,
-changing PonderNextMove just before the game would take effect
-immediately for the second engine but not until the next game for the
-first engine. Thanks to Koundinya Veluri for the bug report.
-
-* Bugfix: In 4.2.4, we sometimes got confused when trying to leave and
-reenter analyze mode. One symptom was that Analyze File did not work.
-Thanks to Igor Syry for the bug report.
-
-xboard/WinBoard 4.2.4 -- Sun Dec 9 14:56:30 PST 2001
-Tim Mann
-
-* WinBoard now includes GNU Chess 5.02 in place of GNU Chess 5.00.
-
-* WinBoard's PasteGameFromClipboard will now handle a paste with
-multiple games in it, popping up the game list dialog. xboard
-already did this. Suggested by Robert Gerstman.
-
-* We now use the "clearboard" command on ICC where appropriate.
-
-* Bugfix: don't generate a bogus "variant normal" command to an engine
-for the loadable ICC wild types that we internally flag as
-VariantLoadable. Also clarified the message that Zippy sends when
-declining such wild games -- it can't deal with the possibility of
-loading an arbitrary position into the game. Thanks to Dieter
-Buerssner for reporting the problem. It would be nice to be able to
-actually play these wild types some day; presumably there would have
-to be an option to either send "loadgame" with a specified position,
-or to deal with an opponent sending it.
-
-* If we get a holdings message from ICS when we thought we were
-playing normal chess, we now try asking for a move list so that we can
-find out from the header what's really happening. Formerly we guessed
-bughouse in this case. Response to a comment from Gian-Carlo
-Pascutto.
-
-* Fixed two longstanding bugs in the clock code. These affected only
-play between a user and a local engine, or between two local engines,
-not ICS play. (1) The last fractional second used by a player before
-moving and virtually pushing his clock was being charged to his
-opponent instead of to him. (2) The time and otim commands were being
-sent to an engine before the (buggy) fractional second update was
-done. The second bug was pretty harmless in itself, but the first one
-was serious. Many thanks to Peter Rosendahl for carefully diagnosing
-and reporting these bugs!
-
-* Changed WinBoard timestamp key. Nothing is changed other than the
-key and a recompilation. ICC may phase out the old key soon; if they
-do, you'll need to use the timestamp.exe from WinBoard 4.2.4 or later
-to connect to chessclub.com.
-
-* Fixed an xboard-only bug where most dialogs would not take keyboard
-input unless the mouse was actually over the dialog, even if the
-dialog window had focus. Thanks to Jason Varsoke for the bug report.
-
-* Bugfix; Remember to send time and otim commands to engine before
-sending playother. Thanks to Bob Hyatt for the bug report. Also
-fixed a bug where time and otim were sometimes sent even with feature
-time=0.
-
-* Added small patches from Wilkin Ng that are meant to fix a crash in
-CopyGameToClipboard and a "can't unlock clipboard memory" error in
-PasteTextFromClipboard, under Windows 2000.
-
-* Changed cygwin.mak to not use -mno-cygwin. In other words, it now
-uses cygwin1.dll instead of the mingw libraries. This works around
-bugs in fileno() and stat() that I encountered in mingw. (fileno
-seems to always return 0. stat fails because the library routine uses
-a different definition of struct stat than the header files provide.)
-Thanks to Robert Gerstman for reporting the symptoms these bugs caused
-when WinBoard was compiled with Cygwin.
-
-* Added -showButtonBar option. This lets you delete the << < P > >>
-buttons and thus widen the message widget a bit.
-
-* Added code to address a very obscure bug. If an engine dies and
-needs to be restarted while in one of the analyze modes, it was not
-getting put back into analyze mode. This bug should not really ever
-have gotten tickled unless reuse was turned off and the engine sends
-game end commands (such as 1-0) when a game ends by rule while in
-analyze mode. The next version of the protocol spec will say that
-engines should not do that, but version 2 and earlier didn't address
-the issue.
-
-* We now use the FICS "iset ms 1" feature to get times in ms instead
-of seconds. Thanks to DAV for email telling me about this feature.
-
-* Changed clock display to show tenths of seconds for 9.9 seconds and
-less, instead of 0.9 seconds and less as before.
-
-* It has been discovered that Zippy can play simuls on ICC (but not on
-FICS). If you arrange for Zippy to send the ICC command "simulize" in
-the -zippyGameStart string, it will accept additional games while
-playing. Zippy will use the same engine for every game, so whenever
-it switches opponents, the engine's state will be reset with the "new"
-command. This will of course weaken its play, so don't enable simuls
-if you want your engine to have the highest possible rating. Zippy
-was never designed to work with simuls; it just works by accident, and
-it hasn't been tested much. So please report any bugs you notice, but
-don't expect them to be fixed rapidly. Thanks to Paul McGuire for
-noticing that this works.
-
-* Bugfix: Suppress the direct command to engine popup if there is no
-engine. In WinBoard this case used to cause a crash. Thanks to
-"Dargon" for the bug report.
-
-* Bugfix: formerly we did part of the engine initialization for the
-very first game too soon, before feature negotiation. One result of
-this is that engines would never get the "ics" command for the first
-game.
-
-* Lengthened timeout to detect protocol version 1 chess engines to 10
-seconds. This should reduce problems with protocol version 2 engines
-that are slow to initialize missing the timeout and not getting a
-chance to send their feature commands before the first game starts.
-
-* Klaus Friedel says that adding a short sleep to WinBoard after
-starting a new chess engine solves a problem that occurs under Windows
-2000, in which engines sometimes don't see the initial command(s) from
-WinBoard and hang. I don't understand how that can happen, but the
-sleep is harmless, so I've put it in. Others have also reported what
-may be the same problem, so hopefully this will fix it for them too.
-
-* Bugfix: editing the Result field in EditTags will no longer cause a
-later crash. Thanks to DAV for a clear bug report that let me
-reproduce the problem.
-
-* ICC wild 28 is now recognized as shatranj, but it is not supported.
-You might be able to play it by turning off Test Legality.
-
-* Formerly we would always turn off "feature time" if the engine
-printed an error message with the string "time" or "otim" in it; now
-we do that only if the message comes before the engine makes its first
-move. This change is useful because some engines spew a lot of bogus
-error messages about commands they don't fully parse, so something
-like "result 0-1 {White lost on time}" could generate such a message.
-Engines shouldn't do that, but if they do, mysteriously turning off
-"feature time" is not a good way to react.
-
-* Fixed an infrequently occurring Zippy bug: formerly, resuming from
-adjournment by position (that is, with GetMoveList turned off) or
-starting/resuming a wild game (nonstandard starting position) would
-try to set up the position without putting the engine into force mode
-first. That was probably tolerated by most engines, but if the
-position was black-to-play and the engine hadn't set feature
-setboard=1, then the fake "a2a3" move (which we use as a kludge to get
-black to be on move before sending the edit command) would appear to
-be a real move, and the engine might reply to it! This bug could also
-be seen when trying to use Zippy to play a simul -- something that
-Zippy was never designed to support, but which seems to mostly work
-anyway. Thanks to Paul McGuire for sending a WinBoard.debug file that
-showed the bug occurring. Some other cases of resuming adjournments
-or starting games from nonstandard positions may have been broken too;
-I think I've straightened out the problems.
-
-* Agreeing to a draw in the human vs. local engine case formerly did
-not work if the human offered first; now it does. A human's
-unsolicited offer is considered valid until he makes another move.
-Thanks to Bruce Moreland for the bug report.
-
-* Bugfix: We used to look for just "fr" in Event tags or strings from
-ICSes to recognize Fischer Random games. This caused a lot of false
-matches. Now we look for "wild/fr" instead, which is what FICS uses.
-
-* Bugfix: Clicking on a move in the MoveList window only updated the
-displayed position; if a chess engine was active, its state was not
-updated. Thanks to Alejandro Dubrovsky for the bug report.
-
-* Bugfix: The "resign" command from engine to xboard formerly did not
-work in ICS (Zippy) mode.
-
-* Bugfix: Formerly we would register a garbage premove if the user
-clicked on a piece, then clicked on an edge or outside the board. Now
-such an errant click is ignored.
-
-* Bugfix: GameEnds would send "exit" to an engine in analyze mode even
-if we did not actually want to leave analyze mode.
-
-* Bugfix: "feature pause" was being rejected. We don't currently use
-it, but that is no reason to reject it. Thanks to Gian-Carlo Pascutto
-for the bug report.
-
-* Bugfix: when "partner" needed to be sent both to ICS and the engine,
-Zippy was erroneously sending the ICS prefix character to the engine
-too. Thanks to Gian-Carlo Pascutto for the bug report.
-
-* Zippy now declines challenges when the engine is not yet ready to
-play again, instead of ignoring them. This is needed so that the
-server will let the opponent repeat the challenge. It might be better
-to remember such challenges and accept them when the engine is ready,
-but that would be a bit more complicated to implement.
-
-* Bugfix: Zippy's emotes didn't work on FICS because there, "i" is a
-built-in alias for "it", not a real command. So sending "$i foo" gave
-an error message instead of doing "it foo". We now leave out the
-alias-suppressing prefix for emotes.
-
-xboard/WinBoard 4.2.3 -- Mon Feb 19 19:55:05 PST 2001
-Tim Mann
-
-* Bugfix: The error message "Variant X not supported by gnuchessx"
-formerly could pop up even in -ncp mode.
-
-* Fixed an xboard bug in premove highlighting. If you had
-HighlightLastMove turned on, premoves got highlighted in
-highlightSquareColor (yellow) instead of premoveHighlightColor (red).
-
-* Modified premove again. Now we are back to displaying the move
-locally immediately after sending it to the server, as in versions
-prior to 4.2.1. This is good because it lets you register your next
-premove sooner. As a better fix to the problem that the change in
-4.2.1 had been trying to address, we now suppress animating the
-opponent's move if you have a premove reply pending. However, it's
-probably still a good idea for you to turn off AnimateMoves entirely
-if you are trying to play extremely fast games.
-
-* Removed an erroneous patch that left zombie chess engines around
-when both sigterm and reuse were turned off. (Bug was in xboard only,
-not winboard.)
-
-* Bugfix: loading a game with autostepping did not work for games with
-PGN result "*" (unfinished). This bug was introduced in 4.1.0, caused
-by some outdated code that was supposed to leave you in EditGame mode
-after loading an unfinished game. I fixed this, and also changed it
-to leave you in EditGame mode after loading *any* game, but without
-changing the tags to say it's an edited game. It's not really clear
-whether that is the best thing is to do here -- ideally, perhaps, the
-tags should change to say "edited game" if you actually make any
-changes, but that is harder to make work.
-
-xboard/WinBoard 4.2.2 -- Tue Feb 6 20:00:00 PST 2001
-Tim Mann
-
-* Fixed a problem introduced in 4.2.1. In -zippyPlay mode, 4.2.1
-started sending the initString immediately after the old game ended,
-but then when the next game started, it would still send "force" and
-another initString. Another problem was that the first initString put
-the engine out of sync with the displayed board position, though that
-might not usually have been noticeable. This is now changed to do a
-full Reset at the end of the previous game, and avoid doing a Reset at
-the start of a new game if we are still in BeginningOfGame mode.
-
-* Fixed some limitations in -zippyPlay mode. The engine was not being
-fed the moves or history of games that were displayed but not being
-played, so it would get confused if you tried to do something like
-examine a game, then enter EditGame mode from somewhere in the middle
-of the game.
-
-* Made a small change so that cygwin can compile xboard for Windows
-(an X server is required to run it). Thanks to Volker Zell. Most
-people would probably prefer to run WinBoard on Windows, however; note
-that cygwin could already compile WinBoard.
-
-* Added some missing documentation to engine-intf.html: It is okay to
-send "feature done=0" even before you receive the xboard and protover
-commands, if this is needed to give your engine enough time to
-initialize. See engine-intf.html for more discussion.
-
-* Bugfix: "feature done=0" did not work for the second engine; now it does.
-
-xboard/WinBoard 4.2.1 -- Sat Feb 3 19:52:26 PST 2001
-Tim Mann
-
-* Bugfix: in Zippy mode with feature san=1, the elapsed time was being
-sent to the engine after the SAN move; for example, "e4 (0:01)" was
-sent instead of just "e4".
-
-* It seems that scroll wheel mice with incompletely installed software
-(under Windows 95, at least) can send repeated middle button up events
-when the wheel is turned. Moved QuickPaste from middle button up to
-middle button down to avoid problems with this.
-
-* A premove is now sent *before* the opponent's move that it replies
-to is animated. The premove itself is no longer displayed (or
-animated) when sent; instead, it is displayed when the chess server
-echoes it back as a board update.
-
-* Bug fix: in -xreuse mode, xboard was only sending command line
-arguments to the engine the first time it was started. (WinBoard
-didn't have this bug.)
-
-* In -zippyPlay mode, we now initialize the chess engine for a new
-game immediately after the old game ends. (In -xreuse mode, this
-means starting a new engine process; in the default -reuse mode, it
-just means sending "new".) If the engine supports ping, we don't
-accept challenges until the "new" has finished. This should help
-avoid losing time (re)initializing the engine after the game starts.
-
-* We now handle the new FICS field in style 12 that says whether the
-clocks are ticking.
-
-* whiteFlag and blackFlag are now reset whenever an ICS board image
-arrives, giving autoflag a fresh chance to work.
-
-* Suppressed "geometry error" debug messages unless -debug flag is given.
-
-* Bugfix: avoid core dump on Solaris with -debug flag, caused by
-passing NULL to a %s format in GameEnds.
-
-* Added -firstProtocolVersion and -secondProtocolVersion. This will
-allow use of extremely broken engines that hang or die when given the
-"protover 2" command. It should be rarely if ever needed.
-
-* Zippy now strips highlights from player names in the Creating
-message; previously the ratings would not be extracted from this
-message properly if you had set the highlight variable.
-
-* Bug fix: Zippy with -zp but not -zt used to be fooled by false
-partner tells inside channel tells; e.g.:
-Garf(24): Garf (your partner) tells you: sit
-
-* Bug fix: when an engine reported its name with the new "feature
-myname=" command, we had been putting just that name into the window
-title even when in TwoMachines mode.
-
-* By default, WinBoard no longer uses the new feature introduced in
-4.2.0beta of keeping the ICS menu, ICS server list, and lists of chess
-engine command lines in separate files; instead, the lists are back in
-the winboard.ini file. This gets rid of some problems where the
-separate files could not be opened because the working directory was
-not set to WinBoard's installation directory.
-
-* WinBoard command lines and ini files now have another optional
-syntax for quoting an option value. All characters within { } curly
-braces are interpreted literally except for '}' itself. SaveSettings
-now uses this syntax for string values that contain a backslash or
-newline and do not contain a '}'. This should address the problem
-that the separate .ini files had been meant to fix; engine command
-line lists can now be written without \-escapes.
-
-* Fixed three bugs in relaying moves between engines in TwoMachines
-mode: an engine would be sent SAN if the *other* engine had set
-feature san=1, a relayed SAN move did not end with a newline, and
-feature usermove was not implemented for relayed moves.
-
-* Fixed several bugs in exiting: File/Exit would sometimes hang;
-timestamp/timeseal would not get killed off; an engine crash would
-cause error messages to be printed recursively until stack overflow.
-
-* Fixed a bug in the code to detect which ICS is in use and adapt to
-it; the chess.net case was broken.
-
-* Removed the leading alias-suppression character when sending a move
-to ICS, because it seemed to break accuclock on chess.net.
-
-* Fixed a bug where a FICS prompt like "10:01_fics%" would be matched
-as finger note number 10, causing a problem detecting when the user is
-logged in.
-
-* Added tellicsnoalias command to protocol.
-
-* Changed st command in protocol back to old behavior.
-
-* Added done=0 feature to protocol, to lengthen initial timeout.
-
-* Added missing -colorSeek command line option to xboard. (Was
-present in WinBoard.)
-
-* Bug fix: setting feature reuse=0 was not working.
-
-xboard/WinBoard 4.2.0beta -- Sat Dec 16 16:34:56 PST 2000
-Tim Mann
-
-* Setting -searchTime no longer turns off -clockMode. Note that when
--searchTime is set, some engines may search for the lesser of
-searchTime and the amount of time their normal clock management would
-dictate, while others will disable their normal clock management and
-always search for exactly searchTime.
-
-* Fixed WinBoard bug where on Windows 2000 (and maybe Windows 98) the
-ICS Interaction window would scroll back to the top whenever it filled
-to capacity and WinBoard trimmed some text off the top.
-
-* Changed xboard dragging so that the center of the dragged piece is
-forced to be over the mouse cursor. (WinBoard dragging already worked
-that way.) This should avoid confusing cases when you start a drag
-with the mouse near the edge of a square -- formerly most or all of
-the piece could be over one square but the mouse cursor over another.
-Suggested by DAV.
-
-* Added move list window for xboard. Code contributed by Manuel
-Hoelss and re-hacked a bit by me. Performance of this window is poor,
-because the implementation regenerates the entire window contents
-whenever anything changes. It's hard to avoid this when using the
-Athena List widget, though we could be a little smarter and notice
-when the current move number has changed but the move list has not.
-There are also several drawing problems caused by bugs in the Athena
-Form and List widgets. The window should not really allow a
-horizontal scroll bar, but the bugs are much worse if I turn it off.
-In both Xaw and Xaw3d, the List widget tries to resize itself when
-XawListChange is called, even if you tell it not to; and what's worse,
-if the widget cannot resize itself to be large enough to avoid
-clipping any of the list item, it does not change the list! Arrgh.
-On top of that, the Xaw Form widget is very buggy in XFree86 4.0.1
-(X11R6.4.3).
-
-* The OK button in the WinBoard startup dialog is now simply disabled
-if none of the radio buttons is selected, instead of bringing up an
-error dialog. Suggested by Ted Milbaugh.
-
-* Used ping to address the worst of the race conditions in the
-protocol. Now if an engine supports ping, we ping it after sending
-the "new" command and after trying to place it in force mode at the
-end of a game. When a ping has been sent and the corresponding pong
-has not yet come back, we (1) ignore or undo any moves the engine
-sends, (2) ignore game end messages (such as "offer draw", etc.) from
-the engine, (3) ignore thinking output from the engine, (4) delay
-starting the next game if in -matchGames mode, (5) in -zippyPlay mode,
-respond to challenges with a polite message to try again soon instead
-of accepting them. There are a few more things that should be done
-(and item 5 might not be quite what we want), but it's hard to fit
-them all into the existing code.
-
-* Patched the version of GNU Chess 5.00 included with WinBoard to
-support protover, feature, setboard, and ping, and to fix some minor
-bugs. See gnu500+.patch.
-
-* Changed the GNU Chess 4 kludges for missing "st" and "sd" commands
-to be invoked only if the engine gives an error message for "st" or
-"sd", and to always use protocol commands instead of engine
-command-line options. See "Idioms" in engine-intf.html.
-
-* Added new protocol command "protover 2" to tell the engine what
-version of the protocol is in use. Version 2 is still compatible with
-old engines; see engine-intf.html.
-
-* Add new protocol command "feature ..." The engine can send this in
-response to the protover command command, to say what extended
-protocol features it would like to enable, etc. xboard responds
-"accepted F" or "rejected F" for each feature F that is set. See
-engine-intf.html.
-
-* Added new protocol command "setboard <fen>". This is an alternative
-to "edit", used only if the engine says "feature setboard=1".
-
-* Added new protocol command "ping <msg>". The engine is supposed to
-respond "pong <msg>". This gives us a tool to fix some race
-conditions in the protocol, but it is not used to the fullest yet.
-
-* Added new protocol command "tellopponent". This will do a "say" if
-you're on a chess server in Zippy mode, or pop up an information
-dialog otherwise.
-
-* Added new protocol command "tellall". This will do a "kibitz" if
-you're on a chess server in Zippy mode, or pop up an information
-dialog otherwise.
-
-* Added new protocol command "tellothers". This will do a "whisper" if
-you're on a chess server in Zippy mode, or do nothing otherwise.
-
-* Changed the WinBoard /icsNames, /icsMenu, /firstChessProgramNames,
-and /secondChessProgramNames options to accept a filename preceded by
-"@", meaning to find the value in the file. Changed the defaults to
-use this feature, with filenames icsnames.ini, icsmenu.ini, fcp.ini,
-and scp.ini. This should make it easier for users to edit the values,
-since one less level of quoting is needed, and each value is in its
-own file, not mixed into winboard.ini. Those who upgrade from an
-older winboard version and already have a winboard.ini file will not
-automatically have these values moved to a file; that has to be done
-by hand if desired.
-
-* We now strip .exe from engine names for "name" command, tags, etc.
-
-* Allowed WinBoard input widget to hold more than one line. You can get
-a newline into the widget with copy/paste or with Ctrl+Enter.
-
-* Fixed an xboard bug where the [P] button would appear in the
-opposite highlight state from what it should be after being pressed.
-
-* We now use the "/" or "$" alias suppression feature on the chess
-servers, to avoid problems if the user inadvertently aliases a
-needed command to something else.
-
-* Changed the method used to deiconize xboard in AutoRaise and cmail.
-This may fix bugs under some window managers where after
-deiconization, the board window was mapped but nothing was drawn
-inside.
-
-* Preliminary, partial support for playing several chess variants
-against a local engine or editing variant games. The -variant option
-must be given on the command line or WinBoard startup dialog; there is
-no menu. The current variant is not displayed (except in the
-Tags/EditTags window). Many variants will not work quite right even
-if the engine supports them; see item 326 in the ToDo file for
-details.
-
-* Added a workaround to detect the variant type when examining a
-scratch wild game on an ICS.
-
-* Fixed two cases where "variant" command should be sent to the engine
-when necessary but was not: loading a game from a file and restarting
-a dead engine. Thanks to Gian-Carlo Pascutto.
-
-* Added missing support for FICS games that start from a bsetup position
-with Black moving first.
-
-* Fixed a bug in loading a file from the game list window while in
-Analysis or AnalyzeFile mode. This now leaves us in AnalyzeFile
-mode, analyzing the new file.
-
-* Fixed a bug in loading games with a comment before the first move.
-
-* Fixed a bug in handling LoadGame (or -lgf) with -td 0.
-
-* Added a command line option to select an initial minor mode from the
-Mode menu. This should satisfy requests from a couple of users with
-special applications.
-
-* Fixed a problem where some things in WinBoard's General Options
-dialog box were grayed out at the wrong time.
-
-* We look for a few messages from the chess engine pipe that are
-intended to catch problems starting an engine via rsh, such as "No
-such file". Moved code so that these strings won't match until other
-protocol messages have been looked for, and documented the messages in
-engine-intf.html.
-
-* Fixed the WinBoard bug that sometimes made the console input box
-white-on-white even when not in password-entry mode.
-
-* Small changes to WinBoard to be compilable with the latest Cygwin
-net release (as of 10-16-2000). Thanks to Mark Schoenberg.
-
-* Recompiled GNU Chess 5.0 for WinBoard with the latest Cygwin net
-release (as of 10-16-2000). Also rebuilt the book just to be sure,
-since I had one bug report about it. It came out identical and seems
-to work fine.
-
-* Added messages for some common InstallShield errors instead of just
-printing InstallShield's stupid error code numbers.
-
-* Added -firstComputerString and -secondComputerString, allowing you
-to suppress or change the command that is sent to a chess engine when
-its opponent is another computer.
-
-* Added "configure --with-Xaw3d" to allow use of Xaw3d widgets instead
-of Xaw widgets in xboard. Thanks to Johnny C. Lam of the NetBSD
-project. I've left Xaw as the default because Xaw3d is too ugly.
-
-* The version of the Xaw Form widget released in XFree86 4.0.1
-(X11R6.4.3) has a bug that causes xboard to display the button bar
-on top of the message widget. I've reported the bug and have
-installed a kludge workaround into xboard.
-
-xboard/WinBoard 4.1.0 -- Sun Sep 17 17:30:14 PDT 2000
-Tim Mann
-
-* Merged Winboard Plus 4.0.8 from Mark Williams into xboard
- source pool. Status of Winboard Plus features in xboard:
-
- - White pieces now have borders, but the implementation is
- completely different from WinBoard's; see below.
-
- - Options menu not changed, probably won't be.
-
- - Copy&paste support working, using Mark's changes to backend.c, Ben
- Nye's changes to xboard.c for FEN positions, and some code of my
- own in xboard.c for PGN games.
-
- - Premove hooked up and working. No pre-first-move, though.
-
- - ICS Alarm hooked up and working.
-
- - Auto-flip working.
-
- - PGN Training mode hooked up and working.
-
- - Improved menu item enable/disable working.
-
- - Improved >> button working.
-
- - Auto activate board working. I changed this to be optional; you
- might not always want it, especially in Zippy mode.
-
- - Blindfold working.
-
- - Documentation updated.
-
-* Fixed more colorization bugs. Commands like "message foo tells you:
-xxx" and "tell 33 tells you: xxx" will no longer generate bogus
-colorization.
-
-* Added low-tech sound support to xboard, by invoking an external
-program on a filename for each sound to be played.
-
-* ICC wild 27 is now recognized as VariantAtomic, and it sets the
-"ignore check" flag, but is not otherwise supported.
-
-* Converted the piece bitmaps from .bm to .xpm for use with xboard's
-xpm support. (An .xim version was not created.) Wrote a shell script
-using ImageMagick to do the conversion and to bucket fill from
-coordinate 0,0 with the background color. Used xpaint by hand to
-clean up a few pieces where background color "leaked" into the inside
-or didn't flow all the way around the outside, then a sed script to
-fix up color names and bitmap names in the xpaint output. If any more
-sizes are added later, they should be straightforward to convert with
-reference to the existing scripts. With this conversion, not only do
-the white pieces now have dark borders, but (unlike with WinBoard) the
-light details on the black pieces are opaque.
-
-* If the XPM library is found when building xboard, the new xpm pieces
-are compiled in as the default. External bitmap (or xpm) pieces can
-still be used by giving the -bitmapDirectory (or -xpmDirectory)
-option. If the XPM library is not found, the old bitmap pieces are
-the default. In this case external bitmap (or xim) pieces can be used
-by giving the -bitmapDirectory (or -xpmDirectory) option. There is no
-way to compile in xim pieces.
-
-Winboard Plus 4.0.8 -- Sat Aug 5 15:51 PDT 2000
-Mark Williams
-
-* Bugfix release.
-
-* Main menu now visible in Win NT. Thanks to Microsoft for creating a
-compiler which auto-mutilates the WinBoard.rc file so that the menu is
-displayed under Win 98 but not Win NT. I fixed the problem by hand editing the
-.rc file. Sigh.
-
-* "Reset game" now works properly when invoked from Analysis mode when two
-engines are present. Correction of bug introduced in Winboard Plus. Thanks to
-Mogens Larsen for reporting the bug.
-
-* Pasting a FEN position with Black to move now works in all modes.
-Thanks to Mogens Larsen for reporting the bug.
-
-* Added gnuchess.dat to the distribution and a couple of text files that were
-missing in 4.0.7.
-
-*** Merged in the following changes from Tim Mann:
-
-* Bugfix: Highlights would sometimes not be taken down, at least in
-xboard. The problem is that SetHighlight works in chess coordinates,
-not view coordinates, so if flipView has been toggled since the
-highlight was put up, it gets taken down from the wrong square. Fixed
-by being careful to call ClearHighlights before toggling flipView, not
-after. Ugh.
-
-* Bugfix: HighlightLastMove would sometimes highlight square a1 after
-a FICS "tomove black" command.
-
-* Bugfix: a move list with initial position that has black to play was
-not being handled correctly.
-
-* Removed "decline abort" and "decline adjourn" commands from Zippy.
-The syntax is changing on FICS, and Zippy really doesn't have to
-explicitly decline the requests anyway; it's sufficient to not accept
-them.
-
-* ICC wild 26 is now recognized as VariantSuicide (the FICS name; ICC
-calls it "giveaway").
-
-* Bugfix: PGN games with black to move in the initial position weren't
-being legality checked correctly. I think this was introduced in
-4.0.6 when I fixed a different PGN bug. Thanks to Mark Williams for
-spotting the bug and suggesting a fix.
-
-* Bugfix: the initial "name(" of a kibitz wasn't being colorized.
-
-Winboard Plus 4.0.7 -- Thu May 12 17:57 PDT 2000
-Mark Williams
-
-* New white pieces with black borders.
-
-* Major overhaul to Options menu. New dialogs for setting General Options,
- Board Options, ICS Options, Sounds, Fonts, Colors.
-
-* Clipboard support for PGN game scores and FEN positions.
-
-* Optional ICS Premove with user-specified first moves for White and Black.
-
-* New sound events: ICS Win, ICS Loss, ICS Draw, ICS Unfinished, ICS Alarm.
-
-* New auto-flip option when playing against a chess program.
-
-* Added PGN Training mode.
-
-* Certain menu options now disabled while program is thinking.
-
-* ">>" button now always goes to the end of the game.
-
-* In ICS mode, the board is automatically activated at the start of a
-new game.
-
-4.0.7 -- Sun Mar 5 17:17:49 PST 2000 Tim Mann
-
-* Fixed a nasty bug in parsing ICS game histories that was introduced
-in 4.0.6.
-
-4.0.6 -- Fri Mar 3 16:20:11 PST 2000 Tim Mann
-
-* Fixed bugs in Zippy's code for responding to messages sent with the
-ICS "message" command.
-
-* Fixed bugs where xboard could still create dialogs partially off the
-top of the screen. Fixed unwanted interactions between initial sizes
-and positions of various unrelated xboard dialogs. Deleted
-borderXoffset and borderYoffset resources.
-
-* Fixed restoring the xterm name on exit to work in more cases.
-
-* Small fix to the WinBoard self-extracting installer: when it starts
-up, it now always deletes any old wb-setup directory left over from a
-previous installation. Formerly this worked only on Windows 95/98, so
-on NT the self-extractor would sometimes stop and ask the user whether
-it was OK to overwrite the old wb-setup files.
-
-* Modified WinBoard to be compilable with the free Cygwin tools
-available from http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/. Based on work by
-Mark Schoenberg. (His mods were enough to get WinBoard through the
-compiler, but a few things were broken along the way, so I reworked them.)
-
-* Merged changes from Don Fong to make WinBoard compilable with
-Borland C++ 4.5. I do not have Borland C++ and am unable to test with
-it, but I did make sure the changes don't stop it working with MSVC++
-5.0 and Cygwin.
-
-* Forbade entering TwoMachines mode from MachineWhite or MachineBlack
-mode when machine is on move. This used to confuse the engine and
-cause problems, because when we try to get the engine to stop, it
-might make a move first, and it might not do that immediately.
-
-* Variant classification now deals with new ICC wild 25, classifying
-it as "3check". Also, we are now conservative about new wild numbers
-we don't know about, classifying them as "unknown" instead of
-"normal".
-
-* Replaced bad GNU Chess 5.00 book in WinBoard distribution with a
-correct one. 1.e4 now no longer takes GNU Chess 5.00 out of book!
-Thanks to Pete Galati.
-
-* Made move parser accept and ignore nonstandard ep suffix on PGN moves,
-e.g., "exf6ep" or "exf6e.p."
-
-* Fixed bugs in parsing PGN files starting with no move number, or
-with a move number other than "1." (including "1..."). Thanks to
-Michael Soulier and Stefan Zipproth for example PGN files
-demonstrating the bugs.
-
-* Changed InitComboStringsFromString to not modify the input string;
-this caused an exception when WinBoard was compiled with MSVC++ 6.
-Thanks to Bert Tuyt for the report.
-
-* In WinBoard, dragging a piece off the edge of the board without
-releasing the mouse button no longer instantly aborts the move. You
-still must release the mouse button inside a square to complete a
-move, but you can now drag off the edge and come back inside.
-
-* WinBoard bugfix: If you went into EditGame or EditPosition mode
-while observing or playing an ICS game, and a new move came in
-(snapping you back to ICSClient mode) while you were dragging a piece
-around, the drag state would not be reset, causing the piece you were
-dragging to remain on the board wherever you dropped it. Thanks to
-David Brinegar for the bug report.
-
-* WinBoard bugfix: If you moved or resized the board while your
-opponent was moving, and you had AnimateMoving on, his move would not
-be displayed until after your next move. Thanks to DAV for reporting
-the bug repeatedly until I finally understood it.
-
-* Added a Zippy "farewell" feature; see zippy.README.
-
-* Fixed a bug (xboard only) in processing -zippyReplayTimeout on the
-command line. Thanks to Steve Beer for the report and patch.
-
-* Send "computer" command to both sides in TwoMachines matches.
-
-* Fixed a Y2K bug in Evan's cmail code! Thanks to Brian Mays for the
-report and patch.
-
-* Bugfix: Initialize variant field of GameInfo struct in gameinfo.c.
-This could cause crashes in LoadGame. Thanks to Andrzej Nagorko.
-
-* Fixed several pattern matching problems: Finger notes and formula
-vars no longer get replied to by zippyTalk or colorized. Channel
-tells by players with many titles are now colorized fully, and
-zippyTalk handles channel tells by such players correctly. The shout
-"--> foo(99): bar" no longer gets colorized as a channel tell. Code
-is cleaned up a bit, and autocomment capture now uses the same
-criteria as colorization.
-
-* xboard fix: Enter key now closes error popups as in WinBoard.
-Especially nice for the "Exiting: Connection closed by ICS" popup.
-
-4.0.5 -- Tue Dec 7 10:30:40 PST 1999 Tim Mann
-
-* Added missing documentation of SIGTERM usage into engine-intf.html.
-
-* Bugfix: New -zippyReplayTimeout option was misspelled in WinBoard as
--zippyReplyTimeout. Thanks to Francesco Di Tolla.
-
-* xboard -ics now restores the xterm's original title upon exit, at
-least if $WINDOWID is set.
-
-* Bugfix: -matchGames mode wasn't terminating properly. Final score
-popup would come up twice and engines would not be killed off. Thanks
-to Frank Quisinsky for the bug report. Bug was introduced in 4.0.4.
-
-* Bugfix: "tell 50 foo shouts: bar" no longer gets colored as a shout;
-similarly for "...s-shouts:" and "...c-shouts:". Thanks to David Lee
-for the bug report.
-
-4.0.4 -- Fri Dec 3 17:51:27 PST 1999 Tim Mann
-
-* Bug fix: formerly if you invoked SaveGame from EditPosition mode
-with black to play, the position was not saved properly. As a quick
-fix, SaveGame now takes you out of EditPosition mode before saving.
-
-* Changed -matchGames to keep track of the score (won-lost-drawn) and
-display it in the banner. The final score is displayed in a modal
-popup before the program exits.
-
-* Changed "Connection closed by ICS" to display in a model popup
-before the program exits.
-
-* Added -popupExitMessage option, default on. Setting this to false
-suppresses the modal popups that you sometimes get just before
-xboard/winboard exits -- both the two new ones listed above and the
-existing Fatal Error popup. This is useful when running Zippy
-unattended from a shell script (or .bat file) that loops and starts a
-new copy after a time delay when there is an error.
-
-* In xboard, added missing support for WM_DELETE_WINDOW to all
-windows. This makes xboard a better citizen, and is much needed with
-the newer X window managers that put an [X] button on every window and
-bind it to "kill application" if the applicationd does not support
-"delete window". We can't allow xboard to be thoughtlessly killed,
-since that leaves the chess engine running in the background.
-
-* We now avoid positioning tops of xboard dialog boxes offscreen.
-
-* zippy.lines can now use the caret ('^') character as an inter-saying
-separator. You no longer need to dig up a text editor that can put NUL
-('\000') characters in text files.
-
-* Bugfix: In traditional chess clock mode, White now gets time added
-to its clock as soon as it makes time control. Previously both White
-and Black got their time added only when Black made time control,
-which would cause some engines to make their 41st move as White too
-quickly, thinking they were low on time.
-
-* The zippyAcceptOnly feature no longer sends a decline command or
-a tell. Thus you can use it to put Zippy into a manual accept mode.
-
-* Bugfix: "tell 50 foo tells you: bar" no longer gets colored as a
-personal tell; similarly for "...whispers:" and "...kibitzes:".
-
-* WinBoard no longer blanks the message line when you start a new
-move, unless there was an error message there from the previous move.
-
-* WinBoard now never puts the white piece drop menu on the middle
-mouse button. Both colors are always on the right button. Windows
-users often don't think to look for a middle button menu, or don't
-really have a working middle button despite what Windows says.
-
-* Guest login handles on ICC are now parsed again; an ICC wording
-change had broken this feature.
-
-* Autodetect when the engine does not support the "draw" command and
-don't relay the command to it in that case. Needed because sending an
-unsupported command to GNU Chess makes it move immediately, so people
-could make Zippy move without thinking by continually offering a draw.
-Thanks to Frank Walker for the problem report.
-
-* Small changes based on code from Robert Jurjevic: The WinBoard
-analysis window can be minimized (though not to the taskbar). The
-WinBoard ICS Interaction window will autoscroll if you drag the mouse
-above or below the window while selecting, and password entry mode
-leaves the entry line as the background color instead of using 75%
-gray. Seeks are now colorized with a new color of their own.
-
-* Added -zippyMaxGames feature.
-
-* -zippyNoplayCrafty command line option was missing in xboard; fixed.
-Thanks to John Perry.
-
-* Fixed bug in detecting when Zippy loses his bughouse partner.
-Thanks to Ben Dean-Kawamura.
-
-* allobs fix in 4.0.3 didn't work; corrected it.
-
-* WinBoard will now update the board immediately if a move is made
-while the window is being moved or resized.
-
-4.0.3 -- Sun Aug 15 18:44:39 PDT 1999 Tim Mann
-
-* Bugfix: moved winboard wizard functions that send a command directly
-to the chess engine from Ctrl+Alt+1 and Ctrl+Alt+2 to Alt+1 and Alt+2.
-Ctrl+Alt is equivalent to the European AltGr key, so the old assignments
-conflicted with typing an @-sign on some keyboards.
-
-* Bugfix: prevent "If this message stays up, your chess program does
-not support analysis" from appearing if AnalysisMode is selected when
-already in Analysis or AnalyzeFile mode. Also, deleting analysis window
-in WinBoard now switches you to EditGame mode, to avoid the anomaly of
-being in an analysis mode with no analysis window present.
-
-* Change all Zippy environment variables to work as command line
-options. For now they still work as environment variables too, but
-the environment variables are deprecated.
-
-* Use unsigned long to hold node counts from engines.
-
-* Print error instead of crashing on attempts to use xpm or xim pieces
-in monochrome mode. Thanks to Jim Torrance for the bug report.
-
-* Tightened pattern recognition for ICS messages sent to Zippy; should
-no longer match ICC allobs output. Fixed recognition of when Zippy is
-sent a message; small change to FICS output had broken it.
-
-* Zippy now exits if the engine dies unexpectedly.
-
-* Added Zippy "spoofedby" feature; see zippy.README.
-
-* Narrowed the margins on some older WinBoard dialogs to make their
-style uniform with the newer ones.
-
-* Bugfix: Changing Ponder Next Move from the Options menu did not take
-effect until the next game. This bug was in WinBoard only. Thanks to
-Stefan Zipproth for the bug report.
-
-* Got rid of "Internal error: bad move type" message when the engine
-makes a move that we can parse but think is illegal. Now the move is
-just passed on (which also may be the wrong thing to do).
-
-4.0.2 -- Thu Feb 25 19:55:32 PST 1999 Tim Mann
-
-* Added one more built-in sound choice to WinBoard: move.wav from Pete
-Galati.
-
-* Added new larger piece sizes: big, huge, giant, colossal, titanic.
-
-* Modified the xboard font searcher to be able to use scalable fonts.
-The new -fontSizeTolerance flag controls how closely a nonscalable
-font must match to be used in preference to a scalable font.
-
-* Zippy environment variables ZIPPYABORT and ZIPPYADJOURN now control
-whether Zippy will accept abort and adjourn requests.
-
-* We now determine the variant type being played on ICS, send it as a
-command "variant VARTYPE" to the chess engine (if in Zippy mode), and
-put it in the PGN tags. See engine-intf.txt for variant names. See
-ZIPPYVARIANTS in zippy.README to control what variants Zippy will
-accept. Note that this now applies to bughouse, too.
-
-* Zippy now won't do -zippyTalk in a channel unless his handle is
-mentioned there.
-
-* Zippy now ignores bughouse holdings if not actually playing, instead
-of stupidly trying to abort the game. Let me know if other strange
-things happen when Zippy is observing a game.
-
-* Set ICS Interaction title bar to "user@server". User name is
-determined by parsing message during the login sequence. Zippy now
-uses this method to get its name too, so ZIPPYNAME is eliminated.
-Problem: with xboard, the title bar gets set to "xterm" upon exit,
-since we didn't know what it was to start with.
-
-* Fixed xboard-only bug in -colorChannel1 command line option. Thanks
-to Fredrik Sandstrom for the bug report and fix.
-
-* Check for overflow of MAX_MOVES. Still not sure this is checked for
-everywhere it needs to be.
-
-* Added .epd to suffixes recognized by WinBoard as position files.
-This is a bit of a kludge, as the .fen reading code was not written
-with .epd files in mind, but reading them with it is said to work.
-
-* Added ZIPPYGAMESTART feature, suggested by Jason Hoblit. See
-zippy.README.
-
-* Restored the feature of soaking up the moves from a user-typed "moves",
-"oldmoves", or "smoves" ICS command when xboard/WinBoard is idle, but
-changed it so that the move list is also echoed to the screen. Some folks
-still liked the old feature since it is faster than examine mode, and
-printing the moves to the screen should eliminate the confusion it caused
-for other people.
-
-* Bugfix: in WinBoard, starting a click-click move and then clicking on
-a black line would cause the source square to be forgotten without taking
-the highlight down. Now the errant click is ignored.
-
-* Corrected shortcut key labels for LoadNext/PrevPosition in WinBoard's
-File menu. Thanks to Andreas Stabel for the bug report.
-
-* Bugfix: if you had a completely full ICS context menu in WinBoard
-(90 items), the last one would do nothing if selected.
-
-* The "computer" engine command added in 4.0.1 was not working; I had
-left out part of the code patch. Oops.
-
-4.0.1 -- Fri Feb 12 21:24:15 PST 1999 Tim Mann
-
-This is a minor bugfix release. The first item listed below is the
-only interesting new feature.
-
-* You can now type in moves from the keyboard in WinBoard. Either
-select TypeInMove from Step menu, or (if you are not in ICS mode),
-just start typing. In ICS mode you can type moves into the ICS
-interaction window anyway, so I've retained the feature that typing
-switches you there. Not implemented in xboard.
-
-* Removed the "noise 1000" command that used to be sent to the chess
-engine when entering analysis modes.
-
-* Deleted the feature where we soak up the output of a user-typed ICS
-"moves" or "oldmoves" command. This ancient feature is not really
-useful anymore, now that "examine" exists, and it caused a lot of
-complaints.
-
-* Increased maximum size of ICS text menu to 90 entries and added
-overflow checking.
-
-* The command sent to ICS by Zippy at the end of each game can now be
-customized with the ZIPPYGAMEEND environment variable.
-
-* We treat xboard.info as a pseudo-source since most people don't have
-the tools to rebuild it. But "make install" erroneously had a
-dependency on it, even though "make all" did not. Fixed.
-
-* Miscellaneous minor updates and clarifications to engine-intf.txt.
-In particular, documented the st and sd commands (support for command
-line options -searchTime and -searchDepth), warts and all.
-
-* Added a small code patch from Bob Hyatt to detect when Zippy's ICS
-opponent is a computer and send the command "computer" to the engine.
-Added this command to engine-intf.txt. Thanks, Bob.
-
-* Bugfix: configure was looking for usleep(), but config.h.in didn't
-have an entry for it, so HAVE_USLEEP was never defined. Also, in the
-non-HAVE_USLEEP case, there was a possible race condition between the
-signal handler and the pause() call. Thanks to Ben Dean-Kawamura for
-the bug reports.
-
-* Bugfix: a "1..." preceding Black's first move (usually present if
-there is a comment on White's first move) would cause the parser
-to think a new game started there and report "End of game" on the
-current game. Thanks to Dell Garner for the bug report.
-
-* Changed the abbreviation for -searchDepth from -sd to -depth to fix
-a clash with -secondDirectory.
-
-* Changed -searchDepth to be orthogonal to the various timing options.
-Previously it would search for an unlimited time to the given depth;
-now the engine is allowed to choose its search time in the normal way,
-but is told to cut off the search early if it reaches the given depth.
-
-* Bugfix: SaveSettings in WinBoard was saving both the long form
-option highlightSquareColor and its abbreviation (hsc).
-
-* Fixed a redisplay bug in DisplayBothClocks that could cause White's
-clock to be highlighted in EditPosition mode when Black's should have been.
-
-* Fixed Zippy's feature of passing on draw offers from the ICS opponent.
-The colorization code was eating the offer before Zippy saw it, so I disabled
-colorization of offers while in -zp or -zt mode. (Other types of
-colorization are already disabled in Zippy mode for similar reasons.)
-
-* Added some more commands to the default ICS context menu in WinBoard,
-and put "(name)" on the ones that insert a playername (or game number).
-
-* Added missing documentation to WinBoard help file: PonderNextMove, the
--ponder/-xponder argument, and the up/down arrow history feature in the
-ICS Interaction window.
-
-* Fixed ZIPPYNOPLAYCRAFTY feature to fire only if the opponent is Crafty,
-not if some other Crafty is observing the game and kibitzes.
-
-* Fixed bugs in generating "partner" commands when Zippy is playing
-bughouse.
-
-4.0.0 -- Sat Jun 20 16:59:47 PDT 1998 Tim Mann
-
-* Fixed WinBoard resizing so that the edges you do not drag remain in
-place, even when the final size is different from what you dragged to.
-(This doesn't work on NT 3.51 or earlier, if anyone cares.)
-
-* Fixed problems with resizing WinBoard on Windows NT: you no longer get
-whitespace around the board, a clipped board, or a lot of flashing during
-the drag.
-
-* Added customization for highlight-square color.
-
-* Bugfix: backend.c wrote to stderr in a few obscure places, which doesn't
-work in WinBoard.
-
-* Added Index Number field back to LoadGame/LoadPosition dialog boxes in
-WinBoard. This required some extra code to work with both the
-Explorer-style dialog boxes and the old-style NT 3.51 dialog boxes. Ugh.
-
-* WinBoard startup dialog now understands -zp mode. The first chess
-engine selector is enabled and the value is used.
-
-* Bugfix: ResetGame would send "exit" to engine twice if it was in an
-analysis mode.
-
-* Bugfix: The response "Illegal move: bk" to the "bk" command, indicating
-that it is not implemented, would confuse xboard.
-
-* Bugfix: Ignore empty hints ("Hint:\n") instead of printing a message
-saying that some bogus string (often "Hint:") is illegal.
-
-* Bugfix: LoadNextGame/LoadPreviousGame/ReloadSameGame were broken.
-
-3.6.12 -- Sat Jun 13 14:57:10 PDT 1998 Tim Mann
-
-Beta test release of xboard and WinBoard.
-
-* Spruced up xboard man page a bit.
-
-* Added Highlight Last Move to xboard too.
-
-* The revamped xboard mouse click code had several more bugs than the
-previous version, so I revamped it again. All fixed now, I hope.
-
-* xboard bugfix: crash in CreatePieceMenu.
-
-* Oops. winboard-3_6_11beta.exe installed 3.6.10beta, not the new version.
-
-3.6.11 -- Fri Jun 12 20:00:48 PDT 1998 Tim Mann
-
-Beta test release of xboard and WinBoard.
-
-* Major reorganization to engine-intf.txt. Some new features added,
-many existing features clarified and hints for engine programmers added.
-Support for new features added to program.
-
-* Changed defaults for -scp (etc.) back to being independent of -fcp, as
-in 3.6.2. That is, the default is no longer to copy the value from -fcp if
--scp is not specified. This will sometimes make command lines longer but
-will remove some confusing situations.
-
-* Split -reuseChessPrograms into two options: -reuseFirst and
--reuseSecond. Fixed obscure bugs when reuse is off.
-
-* Detect ICC and change some command usage slightly there: only ICC has
-set-quietly; only FICS has iset and bsetup clear. With this feature, we
-can now safely use bsetup clear when appropriate instead of deleting each
-piece one by one.
-
-* Added indent to lines that are wrapped by WinBoard ICS Interaction
-window. This seems to tickle a Microsoft bug in the RichEdit control:
-occasionally the start of the next line after the wrapped line is indented
-too. I think the wrapped indent feature is useful enough that it's worth
-having in spite of the bug.
-
-* WinBoard bugfix: bounding box for the board was computed incorrectly by
-mouse code. It would think you moved off the bottom of the board before
-you really did, so it was hard to drag pieces along the bottom rank on
-smaller board sizes.
-
-* Fixed obscure parser.l bug: ambiguity between capture using : instead of
-x and email header line. Also removed or simplified a lot of complex
-patterns for English (as opposed to PGN) end-of-game indications while I
-was in there.
-
-* Added PonderNextMove option.
-
-* xboard EditPosition piece menus now let you set the side to play by
-selecting the "White" or "Black" label at the top of the menu, like
-WinBoard. (Both xboard and WinBoard still let you set the side to play by
-clicking on the clock.)
-
-* Merged documentation of Crafty and GNU Chess thinking output in
-engine-intf.txt. Corrected code in backend.c to match documentation; it
-used to require the PV to start in column 27 (!).
-
-* Fixed bug that caused crashes in "-reuseChessProgram false" mode.
-
-* Draw by agreement in Two Machines mode now works as it is supposed to.
-Other minor bugs in handling game end messages from machines are also
-fixed, and engine-intf.txt is revised in this area.
-
-* Revamped xboard code for handling mouse clicks on the board. In
-particular, it had a bug if a click-click promotion move was made.
-
-* Fixed and reinstated optimization for << in analysis modes: send
-initString and re-send the board if needed. Sending repeated undos
-is bad because Crafty prints some analysis after every one.
-
-* Don't go into a spin loop while pausing between xboard animation frames.
-This caused problems, especially when compiling with -O2 on HP-UX.
-
-* WinBoard Options/Colors/RevertToDefaults now also turns off Monochrome
-if it was on, and similarly for Options/ICSInteractionColors/RevertToDefaults.
-This seemed to confuse people before.
-
-* Bugfix: ICS Interaction context menu items with neither of the two
-optional flags set did not work.
-
-* Bugfix: PGN move numbers are optional, but we were insisting on "1"
-right after the tags.
-
-* Bugfix: only the first game of an -mg match was loading -lpf or -lgf.
-
-* Other minor fixes and code cleanup.
-
-3.6.10 -- Mon Jun 1 01:32:31 PDT 1998 Tim Mann
-
-* Added ZIPPYNOPLAYCRAFTY feature; see zippy.README.
-
-* Added timestamps for chess engine interaction to -debug output.
-
-* Now allow 10 seconds (was 5) between games in match mode for engines to
-respond to "force" command that ended previous game.
-
-* When a game is picked from the game list and the names of White and
-Black are known, display them in the window banner instead of the filename
-and game number.
-
-* Changed default for -scp and -sd to be the values of -fcp and -fd.
-
-* Added boxes for both engines to WinBoard startup dialog. Changed to
-dropdown boxes whose content can be set from winboard.ini, similar to
-the box for ICS name.
-
-* Accept "offer draw" (or "*offer*draw*") from engine to offer a draw.
-
-* Accept "move mmmm" from engine as well as silly "1. ... mmmm" syntax.
-
-* Added support for bughouse engines (Zippy mode only).
-
-* Move bombproofing for engines sending illegal or out of turn moves.
-
-* Always send "xboard\n" to engine as first command. Eliminates need
-to run crafty as "crafty xboard".
-
-* Rewrote xboard code for input from engines to fix longstanding bugs.
-Previously an engine that sent one line in two separate writes with
-some time lapse in between (or perhaps that sent several lines in one
-write) could make xboard hang. WinBoard did not have this bug.
-
-* Fixed minor bugs in dealing with illegal moves.
-
-* Added "iset startpos 1" for FICS.
-
-* Removed special support to put "GNU Chess" or "Crafty" in the window
-banner instead of the engine's base filename. This gives a more level
-playing field for other engines. Also fixed bugs in the code that finds the
-engine's base filename.
-
-* Bugfix: Abort or Resign at the very start of a game in chess engine mode
-would fail to send "force" to the engine.
-
-* Fixed some minor bugs in new "result" messages, and changed format to
-include a trailing PGN comment giving the reason the game ended.
-
-* Changed syntax of /font options in WinBoard; old syntax was assuming
-that a font name can't contain a digit, which is wrong. Old font names in
-WinBoard.ini files are still accepted.
-
-* Serious further work on getting WinBoard to read/write files in the
-"right" directories and documenting exactly what it does.
-
-* Added LoadPreviousPosition, LoadNextPosition, ReloadSamePosition.
-
-* Misc. tiny fixes and cleanup.
-
-3.6.9 -- Sun May 24 20:53:08 PDT 1998 Tim Mann
-
-xboard and WinBoard beta release.
-
-* Tightened up illegal move handling. Illegal or meaningless moves from a
-file or chess engine should no longer get translated into a1a1 and blindly
-applied. Explicit moves to the same square (like a1a1) no longer make the
-piece on that square capture itself and vanish.
-
-* Added AlwaysOnTop feature to winboard.
-
-* Fixed bug in winboard "@" command line indirection operator.
-
-* Removed buggy "optimization" code for ToStart in analysis modes.
-
-* Fixed typo bug in zippy.c that would often cause winboard to crash
-right after starting a game in -zp mode.
-
-3.6.8 -- Sat May 23 22:23:19 PDT 1998 Tim Mann
-
-xboard and WinBoard beta release.
-
-* Added -firstDirectory and -secondDirectory so that chess engines can
-be started in a different directory from xboard/WinBoard itself.
-
-* Added -matchGames to allow more than one game in -matchMode. The games
-are played with colors alternating between the two chess engines. Had to
-add a time delay at the end of each game to catch up with game ending
-messages from both chess engines -- yuck.
-
-* Changed TwoMachines mode to have firstChessProgram play White by
-default. Added -firstPlaysBlack to restore old behavior.
-
-* Major rework of code in backend.c for dealing with first and second
-chess engines. Generalized the code and created a struct type with one
-instance for each engine. Several small bugs fixed along the way.
-
-* Fixed bugs in Abort in local chess engine mode.
-
-* Tightened pattern matching to recognize moves from machine. Should cure
-bogus "Illegal move" errors while Crafty is pondering with Show Thinking
-on, among other things.
-
-* WinBoard keeps focus in board window after popping up a comment due to
-Forward/Backward/ToStart/ToEnd commands.
-
-* Finally got rid of warnings on compiling moves.c under Windows.
-
-* Fixed so WinBoard will compile on machines where WM_MOUSELEAVE is not
-defined.
-
-* Removed various bits of unused code.
-
-* Parse (and ignore) NAGs in PGN files.
-
-* Updated engine-intf.txt.
-
-* Send "result R" to the chess program at the end of each game, where
-R is the PGN result 1-0, 0-1, 1/2-1/2, or *.
-
-* Bugfix: suppress animation when loading a game with timeDelay=0.
-
-* Bug fix: pondering output from Crafty that contained "..." could be
-mistaken for a move, causing bogus error messages and general chaos.
-
-* xboard "make clean" bug fix: moved things created by configure to be
-removed only by "make distclean".
-
-* Fixed a remaining case where move was being animated before being
-relayed to opponent.
-
-* Backend was reversing time/otim commands to the chess program (new bug),
-and was often not sending them on the first move of a game or the first
-move after a mode change (old bug). Fixing the latter required a kludge
-to work with both GNU Chess and Crafty, because Crafty swaps white and
-black clock times when it swaps sides, while GNU Chess does not. The
-kludge is that we always make sure the chess engine thinks its opponent is
-on move before we set the clock. This will sometimes result in sequences
-like "white\ntime xxx\notim yyy\nblack\ngo", or the same with white and
-black interchanged.
-
-* Removed last trace of old -whiteString and -blackString arguments.
-
-* Fixed so that you can type "bd" into the Direct Command dialog when
-debugging gnuchess, without having xboard parse the clock display
-(starting with "White") as "White wins" and end the game.
-
-* Changed moves.c to make a distinction between IllegalMove (where we
-could tell what move was intended, but it violates the chess rules) and
-MeaninglessMove (where we could not tell). This is a step towards getting
-rid of cases where we translate meaningless moves into "a1a1", but some
-work is probably needed to track them all down.
-
-* Fixed bug in WinBoard monoMode dragging.
-
-* Changed WinBoard to new style file dialogs. In the process, disabled
-the feature that let you enter the index number of a game or position within
-the file in the dialog. This is no loss in LoadGame, as you can pick your
-game from the game list dialog that follows, but it does remove some
-functionality from LoadPosition.
-
-3.6.7 -- Mon May 18 21:25:00 PDT 1998 Tim Mann
-
-xboard and WinBoard beta test release. I've been unable to reproduce some
-reported drawing bugs, so they may still not be fixed.
-
-* Changed PopUpErrors option to PopupMoveErrors, which is more useful, and
-changed default to off. Errors other than move errors should always be in
-popups; they are often too big for the message area and too important to
-put where they can be easily missed. But it seems good to get rid of the
-popups for move errors by default.
-
-* xboard analysis window no longer forces itself to top whenever there is
-new output. Also, now uses built-in Xaw word wrapping instead of trying
-to do its own; works better.
-
-* Bugfix: Reset did not take Crafty out of analyze mode.
-
-* A chess engine no longer has to claim to be Crafty to be able to use
-AnalysisMode and AnalyzeFile; it just has to implement the analyze
-command as Crafty does. Put in heuristics to generate more informative
-error messages if the engine does not support analyze, and checked that
-they work at least with GNU Chess.
-
-* Added click-click moving, HighlightLastMove, and HighlightDragging to
-WinBoard. The highlight features are unlikely to go into xboard unless
-the xboard drawing code is cleaned up to do *all* drawing on the board
-from DrawPosition, as WinBoard does. This is low priority for me.
-
-* Eliminated bogus "Error gathering move list: no header" popup. You
-could get this by observing two fast games at once without turning off
-GetMoveList.
-
-* Disable WinBoard Sounds menu entirely in -ncp mode, since not even
-MoveSound is used in that mode.
-
-* WinBoard bugfix: Several problems were caused if the user changed
-WinBoard's current directory in a Load, Save, or Browse dialog. In
-particular, WinBoard.ini would get saved in the wrong directory, and
-sound .wav file names would not get saved with a full pathname. I think
-all such problems are now fixed.
-
-* WinBoard bugfix: iconizing the board after an aborted mouse resize would
-(partially) resize it to Tiny.
-
-* WinBoard bugfix: board was not being drawn in color on 256-color
-displays. This bug was introduced in 3.6.6.
-
-3.6.6 -- Tue May 12 17:43:43 PDT 1998 Tim Mann
-
-xboard and WinBoard beta release. Note: not all reported bugs are fixed.
-
-* Move animation in WinBoard, programmed by Henrik Gram. Great stuff!
-
-* Animate backward moves too.
-
-* xboard bugfix: -font (and friends) can now specify a font alias (such
-as "fixed"), not just a full X Consortium name pattern. Previously this
-would give a resource conversion error message.
-
-* Some coding style cleanup in xboard.c.
-
-* Earlier error check for moving wrong color piece in EditGame mode.
-
-* Completed fix to pattern matching; see 3.6.5.
-
-* Fixed some software rot bugs in Zippy.
-
-* Split AnimateDragging as separate option from AnimateMoves.
-
-* Added FlashMoves to options menu and -flash/-xflash to command line
-options (xboard only).
-
-* Some preliminary work on visible bughouse holding support. Most of the
-code is not present in this release because I have not gotten it working
-properly yet; my first approach went down a blind alley and I had to
-remove most of the partially working code in preparation for a rewrite.
-
-3.6.5 -- Fri May 8 14:22:09 PDT 1998 Tim Mann
-
-Not generally released.
-
-* Pack bughouse holdings display in banner more tightly when board is one
-of the smaller sizes (when smallLayout or tinyLayout is true, that is).
-An interim measure, but should help.
-
-* Completed fix to make move list parsing recognize the end condition and
-final comment.
-
-* Fixed pattern matching for chatter (tells, etc.) to be more reliable.
-This should reduce the incidence of colors starting in the wrong place and
-of incorrectly matching things that look like other patterns inside
-chatter, such as "shout <12>". (These errors were already rare.)
-
-* WinBoard now lets you customize the list of ICS's in the startup dialog.
-For now, at least, requires editing WinBoard.ini with a text editor.
-
-* Bug fix: WinBoard window sizing and position setting save/restore did
-not work right when the taskbar was at the top (or left side) of the
-screen and not in autohide mode.
-
-* Merged xboard click/click mode and drag mode, and deleted
-ClickClickMoving option on menu. Now if you click on a piece, it
-highlights and a further click on another square will move it. (A second
-click on the same square takes down the highlight.) Or if you press down
-on a piece and start to drag, you can drag it to a new square.
-
-* When making click/click style moves, if your second click is on a piece
-of the same color, instead of saying "Illegal move", we now cancel the first
-starting square, replace it with the second, and wait for another click to
-finish the move.
-
-* Separate -secondInitString. Default: same as -initString. Suggested by
-Remi Coulom.
-
-* Patch from Frank McIngvale to make animation work with XIMs. Yay!
-
-* Changed move animation to happen after move is passed on to ICS or the
-chess engine, where applicable. Fixed problems with updating moveList
-that this uncovered.
-
-* Changed game list to show PGN result token for each game.
-
-* The usual minor bug fixes.
-
-3.6.4 -- Thu Apr 30 23:14:43 PDT 1998 Tim Mann
-
-xboard and WinBoard beta test release.
-
-* xboard documentation updated, both man page and info file. An attempt
-to generate both from the same source with LinuxDocSGML was abandoned, at
-least for now. WinBoard doc updated too.
-
-* Merged updates to animation code from Hugh. Fixed a couple of remaining
-bugs, mostly to do with handling Pause mode correctly.
-
-* Added SaveSettingsOnExit to WinBoard.
-
-* WinBoard now saves the last screen position of the Comment, Edit Tags,
-Game List, and Analysis windows (in addition to the board and ICS
-Interaction windows) in WinBoard.ini.
-
-* WinBoard now provides a way to customize the right-button context menu
-in the output area of the ICS Interaction window. For now, requires
-editing WinBoard.ini with a text editor.
-
-* Various minor fixes to ICS message recognition, most affecting only Zippy.
-
-* Colorize the notification when someone sends you a message while you are
-logged in, not the output of the "messages" command.
-
-* Fixed colorization to turn off at the right place more reliably.
-
-* Added a new color and WinBoard sound for "requests": abort, adjourn,
-draw, pause, and takeback. The same color and sound are used for all of
-these.
-
-* Added GUI to change sounds in WinBoard.
-
-* Suppressed WinBoard error popup when a sound can't be played. They were
-popping up when two separate WinBoards tried to play a sound at the same
-time (such as during a bughouse match).
-
-* Fixed WinBoard crash when a sound file didn't exist.
-
-* WinBoard ports of timestamp and timeseal now produce decent error
-messages if they fail to connect, and WinBoard captures the messages and
-puts them into a popup. Previously WinBoard would exit with no message on
-such errors.
-
-* WinBoard resizing with mouse improved; now accurately picks the largest
-size that fits in the new area.
-
-* Added option to turn off error message popups.
-
-* Added sizes slim, dinky, and teeny.
-
-* Fixed some minor problems with error message wording.
-
-3.6.3 -- Mon Feb 23 19:08:57 PST 1998 Tim Mann
-
-xboard beta test release only. Man page is updated for the changes, but info
-file is not.
-
-* Bug fix: LoadGame could not load a PGN game whose first move was
-castling (which is possible from setup positions).
-
-* Bug fix: we were ignoring illegal move messages from chess engines in
-modes where the engine is refereeing but not participating (EditGame,
-LoadGame, AnalyzeFile). The problem was in a workaround for a Crafty bug,
-where Crafty generates a bogus illegal move message if a "." (used by
-the PeriodicUpdates feature) is sent in analysis mode when the current
-analysis reveals a forced mate. Installed a different workaround (that
-works in most but not all cases) and reported the Crafty bug. Bob Hyatt
-replied with a fix, so the Crafty bug should be gone in Crafty 14.12 or so.
-
-* WinBoard only: enabled resizing board with the mouse. It snaps to the
-nearest (but not too much larger) predefined size.
-
-* The xboard default font is now sized according to piece size, just as
-clockFont and coordFont have always been.
-
-* Added more sizes: bulky, moderate, average, middling, mediocre, petite.
-
-* xboard only: Added Animate Moves and Click-Click Moving to Options menu.
-
-* xboard only: Added code to animate piece movement, from Hugh Fisher.
-
-* New feature: autoflag is implemented in MachineWhite, MachineBlack, and
-TwoMachines modes. If it is on and either a chess program or the user
-oversteps his time, xboard will automatically call the flag and end the
-game. This feature was requested by someone who runs matches between
-programs and wants to penalize GNU Chess for its habit of running slightly
-over at the end of a time control. I personally think it's pointless.
-
-* Fixed a bug in Zippy's pattern matching; he can now reply to ICC
-messages again.
-
-* Generate prettier notation for illegal moves. If a move is illegal only
-because it leaves the player in check, generate notation as if that were
-not illegal. For instance, if two knights are a knight's move away from
-f3, one on g1 and one on e5 that is pinned, the notation would be Nf3 to
-move the g1 knight, Nef3 to move the e5 knight. (Suggested by Philippe
-Schnoebelen.) In addition, if a move is illegal because the type of piece
-moved cannot go that way, would be jumping over another piece, etc., we
-give fully disambiguated coordinate notation; for example, Ng1g3, Ke1xe8,
-d2xd8=Q, etc. An alternative would be to still write Ng3 if there is only
-one knight on the board, or Ngg3 if the other knight is not on the g file,
-but life is too short to code up all this stuff, and perhaps the way I did
-it is better as it emphasizes that this move was really made despite being
-illegal. I wonder if the new PGN standard revision will speak to notation
-of illegal moves?
-
-* Fixed gross bug from 3.6.2: if a chess program said "checkmate" and
-White was left on move, the PGN outcome was "1-0 {Black mates}" instead
-of "0-1 {Black mates}"! The bug occurred only for that specific string.
-
-3.6.2 -- Wed Jul 23 16:47:29 PDT 1997 Tim Mann
-
-* There was a bug in backing up from the end of a game against a chess
-engine, introduced when -reuse mode was added. Fixed.
-
-* Recognize "{" as terminating an ICS move list. Previously we needed to
-see a prompt (containing %), but occasionally ICC can send more stuff
-right after a move list with no prompt in between.
-
-* In WinBoard, -mm now implies -cp, so you don't get the startup dialog.
-
-* WinBoard startup dialog no longer sets -scp. People used to get
-confused because they would give the -fcp and -scp arguments, but omit
--cp. This would bring up the startup dialog, which would set both -fcp
-and -scp to the value in the engine name box. Now you can change -scp
-only with the command-line argument. That will confuse some people too,
-but hopefully fewer. I think overall it's better than putting spaces for
-both -fcp and -scp in the dialog, which would puzzle newbies.
-
-* Bug fix: Analyze File mode now works in WinBoard.
-
-* Bug fix: WinBoard window no longer cuts off part of the bottom row if
-the menu bar wraps to a second line.
-
-* Accept game end messages of the form "PGN-result {comment}" from the
-chess engine, where PGN-result is 0-1, 1-0, or 1/2-1/2. Accept "resign"
-or "computer resigns" from the chess engine as a synonym for "0-1 {White
-resigns}" or "1-0 {Black resigns}". Accept any message from the chess
-engine containing "game is a draw" as a synonym for "1/2-1/2 {Draw}".
-Accept "White resigns" or "Black resigns".
-
-* Enable "Action / Draw" menu item in chess engine mode. It sends the
-command "draw" to the engine. Accept any message from the chess engine
-containing "offers a draw" as a draw offer. WARNING: Draw offers from the
-user and the engine (or from two engines) are not yet matched up by xboard
-in chess engine mode. Two engines could get into a loop offering each
-other draws.
-
-* Bug fix: Game end messages from the chess engine are always ignored in
-Zippy mode. Previously they could sometimes be processed, which was
-sometimes making Zippy hang at the start of a new game that followed
-quickly after an old one.
-
-* Zippy can now respond to titled players in channels. Zippy will avoid
-talking to himself in a channel if he knows his own name.
-
-* Bug fix: in colorization arguments, the bold setting was being ignored
-if the background color was defaulted. (xboard only.)
-
-* Extended ParseFEN to accept Crafty 12.2's interpretation of FEN.
-If fewer than 8 squares are given in a row, or fewer than 8 rows are
-given, the uncovered squares are empty. Also, there can be a / after the
-8th row.
-
-3.6.1 -- Sat May 17 01:02:33 PDT 1997 Tim Mann
-
-* Bug fix: Hitting escape while entering a password on WinBoard no longer
-sets the font color back to black (which made further typing visible).
-
-* Bug fix: On Windows NT 4.0, WinBoard /ics /icshelper=timestamp would
-often hang if you tried to exit with the Exit menu item, the [X] button,
-etc. The same fix may also have corrected the problem where running a
-chess program with /xreuse would sometimes crash Windows 95 (but not NT)
-when the chess program was killed and quickly restarted.
-
-* Bug fix: Periodic Updates would not work if turned on after having been
-off. Also, the default was needlessly "off" in WinBoard.
-
-* Zippy bug fix: Continuing an adjourned game was totally broken. The
-wrong moves, or no moves at all, were being fed to the chess program.
-
-* WinBoard change: Giving -ics without -icshost now pops up the startup
-dialog with "Use an Internet Chess Server" pre-selected, so that you get a
-menu of chess servers instead of going directly to ICC.
-
-* Bug fix: WinBoard's SaveSettings was saving -icshost, -icsport, and
--icshelper in winboard.ini. This causes a problem if you use a different
-icshost later that needs the default values for icsport (5000) and
-icshelper ("", meaning none).
-
-* Disabled complaints about unexpected "[Ii]llegal move" messages from
-the chess program; we still get them at times.
-
-* Greatly simplified the code for Move Now and SIGINT (ATTENTION). Fixes
-the bug where Move Now did not work with GNU Chess in WinBoard, and
-several more obscure bugs as well. Reintroduces a minor bug: GNU Chess might
-not think on your time after a Move Now command. Trying to fix this
-causes too many other problems. Documented change in engine-intf.txt.
-
-* Cleaned up code for obtaining ratings from ICS. It was kludgey and may
-have had bugs on systems with no "Creating:" message. It should fail
-gracefully there, just not finding the ratings.
-
-3.6.0 -- Thu May 8 19:55:58 PDT 1997 Tim Mann
-
-* WinBoard now has right-button context menus in the ICS Interaction
-window. Some of the items do immediate commands on the player name you
-have selected or pointed to. (Suggested by Paolo Casaschi.) Also, the
-middle button or shift+right does a immediate Copy and Paste.
-
-* Fixed a bug in Zippy's wild rejection. The bug was causing Zippy to
-reject all forms of wild. Now it rejects only 1, 9, 16, 17, and 24, as
-was intended. These variants have different rules, while the other
-variants defined so far only have different starting positions.
-(Actually, wild 2, 3, and 4 never allow castling, but may sometimes by
-chance have king and rook start on squares where castling appears legal.
-This could cause a problem later.)
-
-* Zippy now resumes adjourned games by feeding the chess program
-the move list instead of the position. Setting -getMoveList to False
-restores the old behavior. Feeding in the move list is better because
-it enables the chess program to correctly handle en passant legality,
-castling legality, draw by repetition, and draw by the 50 move rule.
-
-* Added a WinBoard startup dialog for people who run WinBoard.exe without
-using the Start menu or reading the help file. Instead of being dumped
-directly into GNU Chess mode, you now get a menu of choices. You now have
-to give the new WinBoard -cp option to go directly into chess engine mode.
-I did not add this feature to xboard.
-
-* Handling of "illegal move" from Crafty is now back on. (It was turned
-off in 3.4.6; see below.) Crafty 12.0 doesn't seem to send bogus ones
-anymore. I did have to suppress sending time and otim in analyze mode to
-make this work, but there is no harm in that.
-
-* Zippy now sends "gameend" to ICS at the end of each game. You can alias
-this to "seek" or whatever you like.
-
-* Added Crafty support for Move Now, using the "?" command. We test
-whether this command exists by trying it once at the start of the first
-game, before it really makes sense. If we don't get a message like
-"Illegal move ... ?", we assume it's OK. (We're careful about this
-because sending a "?" to GNU Chess on Move Now keeps it from pondering the
-next move as it should.)
-
-* Added support for a tellusererror command from the chess engine. See
-engine-intf.txt.
-
-* Attempted to make engine-intf.txt complete.
-
-* Minor fixes/cleanup to GameEnds code, to be sure we always interrupt
-when needed, and always undo an extra move generated by stopping the chess
-program while it is thinking.
-
-3.5.7 -- Sat May 03 22:37:44 PDT 1997 Tim Mann
-
-Beta release of both xboard and WinBoard.
-
-* Updated xboard documentation. I really wish the man page was built from
-the info file instead of being separate! It's a pain to update them both.
-
-* Updated documentation of the interface between XBoard/WinBoard and chess
-programs, and renamed it to engine-intf.txt.
-
-* Added support for tellics, telluser, and askuser commands from the chess
-engine. See engine-intf.txt.
-
-* Various bug fixes. On WinBoard, 256 color displays are finally handled
-right; no more color flashing when you switch windows unless the colors
-really need to be updated. Also, I think the problem of the console font
-failing to change or changing back by itself is finally fixed.
-
-3.5.6 -- Tue Apr 29 03:08:00 PDT 1997
-
-Beta release, WinBoard only. ChangeLog was out of date in release,
-updated here.
-
-* Added ICC timestamp and FICS timeseal to WinBoard distribution. These
-are my own ports to Win32, based on and used by permission of the owners
-of the proprietary source code (Daniel Sleator for timestamp, Henrik Gram
-for timeseal). The owners permit these programs to be distributed only in
-binary form (to help prevent cheating), so to avoid running afoul of the
-GPL, I have kept them as separate programs, not linked into the WinBoard
-address space. Updated Start menu icons to use them.
-
-* Miscellaneous smaller changes.
-
-3.5.5 -- Fri Apr 25 03:06:00 PDT 1997
-
-Beta release, WinBoard only. ChangeLog was out of date in release;
-updated here.
-
-* Added simple sound support to WinBoard.
-
-* Updated WinBoard documentation.
-
-* Internal implementation of the telnet protocol is now more complete.
-You can now hop through a VMS host on the way to ICS. For example, do
-"xboard -ics -icshost vms.host.edu -icsport 23", then log in. Do not use
-the -telnet flag; that says to use an *external* telnet program. To avoid
-double echoes, you need to force character mode in VMS telnet after
-connecting from VMS to ICS. Do "^]^Mset mode char^M^M".
-
-* Display opponent names in the title bar for MachineWhite, MachineBlack,
-and TwoMachines modes.
-
-* WinBoard now has an installer, built with InstallShield. The installer
-works with a binary-only distribution. Sources are still freely
-available, but now separately.
-
-* Added SaveSettings to WinBoard, which saves current option settings to
-winboard.ini. Made sure all options can be saved and loaded, including
-fonts and com port settings.
-
-* If the game ends while you are dragging a piece, we now don't let you
-finish the move. Formerly the move was accepted and your opponent's clock
-would start running again.
-
-3.5.4 -- Fri Apr 18 01:15:24 PDT 1997 Tim Mann
-
-Beta test release of WinBoard and xboard. The documentation remains
-out of date.
-
-* Many fixes and improvements to new WinBoard user interface code.
-
-* In Zippy mode, avoid sending another copy of the same move to the chess
-program if ICS sends us another copy of the board image. Hard to believe
-it took me until now to diagnose and fix this problem!
-
-3.5.3 -- Sat Apr 12 19:49:33 PDT 1997 Tim Mann
-
-Beta test release of WinBoard and xboard.
-
-* Fixed fatal bug in WinBoard input handling.
-
-* Made code to stop chess program for reuse a bit smarter. Removed kludge
-of "white" in initString; it didn't work well, and is unneeded
-with Crafty 11.21 and later.
-
-3.5.2 -- Sat Apr 12 15:40:01 PDT 1997 Tim Mann
-
-Beta test release of WinBoard.
-
-* Ignore check and permit promotion to King during suicide games; no need
-to turn off TestLegality.
-
-* Renamed CheckLegality to TestLegality to avoid confusion with the chess
-term "check".
-
-* Added Rematch to Action menu.
-
-* WinBoard now has a custom ICS interaction window with scrollback, a
-separate line for input, and colorization. Accelerators that conflict
-with normal editing keys were changed (by requiring Alt+) so they can work
-in both the console and the main window.
-
-* WinBoard error popups are now non-modal and disappear when you make a
-new move, as in xboard.
-
-* Configure now defaults to --disable-ptys on all systems. If anyone has
-an ancient SysV system where pipes don't work with select, they can still
-do "configure --enable-ptys" explicitly. I would appreciate getting a bug
-report if this happens to anyone, with complete output from configure and
-"uname -a".
-
-* "make install" now makes the installation directories too.
-
-* Fixed a bug that would cause an "Illegal move" message for Black from
-GNU Chess to be incorrectly considered bogus.
-
-* Handle name changes during an ICS game (FICS bname and wname commands).
-
-* You can force both chess programs to be killed at the end of each game
-by turning off the reuseChessPrograms option. There are still some
-problems with reusing Crafty even in version 11.20.
-
-* Now the second chess program stays around by default too, if it ever
-gets started.
-
-3.5.1 -- Sat Apr 5 16:47:48 PST 1997 Tim Mann
-
-Beta test release.
-
-* Don't kill off and restart the chess program for each game; keep the
-same one running, using the "new" command to start a new game. This
-change works around the problem in Windows 95 that makes WinBoard crash it
-at times, and is generally desirable to make new games start faster. The
-second chess program (for TwoMachines) is still killed at the end of the
-game, and unfortunately this can still crash Windows 95. Temporarily
-added "white" to the initString to make this work with Crafty 11.20, which
-has a minor bug in "new". Older versions of Crafty have worse bugs in
-"new"; they should not be used with this version of xboard.
-
-* Support for FICS suicide chess: Parse illegal moves (that leave King in
-check) in game history. If CheckLegality is off, allow promotion to King
-and illegal moves in game files. We still generate e2e4 style notation
-for illegal moves.
-
-* Handle FICS "has timeseal; checking" message.
-
-* Changed the coords from white back to black; this was a bug.
-
-* Fixed problems compiling with K&R compilers.
-
-* Fixed an old bug in RegisterMove that was crashing cmail on some systems
-(notably linux).
-
-3.5.0 -- Thu Jan 2 16:59:49 PST 1997 Tim Mann
-
-Thanks to Frank McIngvale for much of the work on versions 3.4.4 and above!
-
-* Fix Crafty resumed game time bug (frankm)
-
-* Word wrap text in Analysis window (frankm)
-
-* More debug info for XPM loading (frankm)
-
-* Replaced config.sub, config.guess, etc., with up-to-date versions from
-autoconf 2.12. Hopefully this will fix problems on Pentium Pro machines.
-
-* Removed some Makefile gunk that was causing looping for one person.
-
-3.4.7 -- Thu Dec 19 14:22:41 PST 1996 Tim Mann
-
-All changes from Frank:
-
-* Retrieve ratings from ICC (and FICS, etc., when they add the Creating:
-message), save them in the PGN tags, and pass them to Crafty in Zippy mode.
-
-* Add settable time delay between characters in ICS login script.
-
-* Colorize messages like personal tells. Fix false recognition of channel
-tells.
-
-* Pass "tells" from Crafty through to ICS (in Zippy mode).
-
-* Implement ~/ filename convention from C shell for game and position file
-names.
-
-* ZIPPYACCEPTONLY feature for testing.
-
-3.4, patchlevel 6 -- Sat Nov 23 16:58:50 PST 1996 Tim Mann
-
-* Put recognition of "illegal move" messages from Crafty for
-illegal castling, etc., inside an #if that is currently turned off,
-because of a bug in Crafty that generates bogus "illegal move" messages
-after some moves that are actually legal and accepted by Crafty.
-
-* Added -checkLegality option; previously this could not be turned off.
-
-* Fixed an old bug in finding default board size parameters.
-
-* Differentiated among channel tell, kibitz/whisper, and personal tell/say.
-
-* Fixed a bug in detecting Xpm in the configure script.
-
-3.4, patchlevel 5 -- Mon Nov 18 16:22:53 PST 1996 Tim Mann
-
-* Added zic2xpm to the kit; it had been omitted by mistake.
-
-* Added some default colors for -colorize
-
-3.4, patchlevel 4 -- Sat Nov 16 18:10:17 PST 1996 Tim Mann
-
-This is meant to be a beta release in preparation for version 3.5.
-
-* Added InfoXBoard and ManXBoard to the Help menu.
-
-* Made Frank's ICS input box optional, defaulting to off.
-
-* Merged in Frank McIngvale's XbKit. Many new features, including
--clickClick mode, the Analysis modes, piece flashing, ZIICS import,
-ICS text colorization, and the ICS input box. Many thanks to Frank for
-supplying and documenting this code.
-
-3.4, patchlevel 3 -- Mon Nov 11 18:23:14 PST 1996 Tim Mann
-
-Small set of changes made while Frank McIngvale was working on XbKit in
-parallel. Unreleased in this form.
-
-* Updated zippy.README.
-
-* Removed useless X event handler and removed strange code for copying
-form translation table to board that worked around the bug it caused.
-This makes changing bindings in .Xdefaults more straightforward.
-
-* Now pressing the Control key steps back one move, and releasing it steps
-forward again.
-
-* Moved quit from "q" to "Q" for greater safety.
-
-* Use "unobserve" instead of "observe" to stop observing; needed on FICS.
-
-* Support for interface variable.
-
-* Strip titles from people who are talking to us, so (for example) Zippy
-won't try things like "tell Darooha(*) hello". Needed on FICS.
-
-3.4, patchlevel 2 -- Tue Jul 9 19:06:42 PDT 1996 Tim Mann
-
-This patchlevel is not planned to be an announced release. It's in
-preparation for integrating Frank McIngvale's XbKit. It mostly contains
-minor fixes I've accumulated since 3.4.pl1.
-
-* WinBoard /telnet option now fires up an external program, as
-with xboard, instead of trying to use a feature of NT 3.1 that does not
-exist in later versions of NT or in Windows 95. ChangeLog for 3.4.pl1
-said this had been implemented there, but it really wasn't.
-
-* Indicating player to move by the icon color now works under Windows 95.
-
-* WinBoard now kills the chess program when you exit using the system menu
-or the [X] button. Thanks to Michael Lowe.
-
-* Minor changes to Zippy, including: Now understands wild challenges on
-FICS; these used to crash it. Removed limit on how fast a game will be
-accepted. Use "set formula ..." on the chess server to limit this if you
-are using GNU Chess. Now sends correct opponent name to Crafty.
-
-* Added some missing default values to documentation. Thanks to Stuart
-Cracraft.
-
-* Bugfix: Trying to print "No fonts match pattern" error message would
-crash. This can happen to Linux users who don't install Helvetica, for
-example.
-
-* Bugfix: Defaulting feature in -size n,n,n,n,n,n would put us in an
-infinite loop.
-
-* Added more directories to search for Athena widgets on HPUX.
-
-* New cmail (3.12) from Evan Welsh; includes small fix from Kayvan Sylvan.
-
-* Recognize "illegal move" messages from Crafty for illegal castling, etc.
-
-* Bugfix: "name" command added to zippy.c for Crafty was producing error
-message if GNU Chess was in use.
-
-* In bughouse mode, suppress holding messages from console window; show
-holdings only in banner.
-
-* Minor fixes/cleanup to Makefile.in and configure.in.
-
-3.4, patchlevel 1 -- Mon Dec 11 13:43:12 PST 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* This patchlevel updates WinBoard to match xboard, and includes a few
-fixes and minor improvements. "-size tiny" and "-size n,n,n,n,n,n"
-are still not implemented for WinBoard.
-
-* Installed support for Crafty based on code from Bob Hyatt.
-Currently the only documentation for this is in the FAQ, and a few
-things don't work with Crafty 8.23. Please do not report these
-problems as bugs in either xboard or Crafty. Bob and I know about
-them. The worst ones (if not all of them) should be fixed in Crafty
-8.24.
-
-* Changed the kludge command we send when gnuchess wants to print
-something that doesn't end with a newline, from "help" to "bogus".
-This works because the error message gnuchess prints ends with a
-newline. It also improves compatibility with Crafty, which doesn't
-need the kludge, but for which sending "help" causes a problem.
-
-* Don't draw grid at all if lineGap is 0; previously we drew the grid
-with X "0-width" lines (usually 1 pixel wide) and then overwrote it.
-
-* Makefile: Removed xboard.info from "all" target so we won't try to
-rebuild it, because this fails on hosts that don't have makeinfo
-installed. Other minor fixes to "clean" targets, etc.
-
-* Fixes and cleanup to Auto Comment code that handles continuation
-lines and highlighting.
-
-* Auto Observe now tries to observe the game from the point of view of
-the player who was on your gnotify list. Requested by rng.
-Limitations: We can't tell which player it was unless you have ICS
-highlighting turned on. Also, currently "observe foo" works as
-required (observing from foo's point of view) only on ICC, but FICS
-will probably implement this soon.
-
-* "-size tiny" now makes the default font smaller automatically. This
-was implemented by introducing an extra Form widget in the hierarchy
-for all xboard windows, named either normalLayout, smallLayout, or
-tinyLayout. So you can have resource specifications that apply only
-to certain layouts; in particular, XBoard*tinyLayout*font.
-
-* Bug fix: EditGame or EditPosition while playing or examining still was
-not really being permitted.
-
-* WinBoard bug fix: On the EditPosition menu, King did not work.
-
-* Added text catalog of WinSock error messages to WinBoard, because
-Microsoft still has not put them in the system message catalog.
-
-* Removed support for older ICS game-ending messages that do not have
-a PGN result token (*, 0-1, 1-0, or 1/2-1/2) after the closing '}'.
-The code for older messages was sometimes firing on the newer
-messages, due to parsing ambiguity. If the current code sees an old
-message, it will understand that the game is over, but will always
-display * as a result token instead of trying to guess the result by
-interpreting the text message.
-
-3.4, patchlevel 0 -- Tue Nov 21 01:02:50 PST 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* This patchlevel was released for xboard only.
-
-* Updated the info file. It should now be as up-to-date as the man page,
-with good English except in the parts that pertain only to AmyBoard.
-
-* Added "-size tiny", requested by Bob Hyatt. Also cleaned up bitmap
-support and added "-size n,n,n,n,n,n" to allow arbitrary-sized bitmaps,
-if the actual bitmaps are supplied by the user.
-
-* Updated bughouse support.
-
-3.3, patchlevel 4 -- Sat Nov 18 02:27:21 PST 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* Unreleased beta that works with preliminary FICS bughouse code. Will
-need changes before release to track FICS message changes.
-
-* Removed use of .EX macro from man page. It is not supported by some
-nroff -man macro packages, notably the one on Slackware Linux. Switched
-to boldface for references to xboard and other commands within the man
-page, as this seems to be the modern way.
-
-* Bug fix: If ICS rejected a move, it was correctly undone on the board,
-but the message widget still displayed the bad move. Reported by DAV.
-
-* Normally, xboard in ICS mode fetches the move list whenever the board
-display switches to a new game. Doing this is now an option
-(getMoveList) that can be turned off, which is useful if you are watching
-multiple blitz games. Requested by rng.
-
-* Move list fetching code is now smarter: it ignores a move list if it is
-not for the right game.
-
-* Added support for bughouse as implemented on FICS. Holdings are shown
-in the window title in place of the strength numbers. A menu on mouse
-buttons 2 and 3 (same on both) lets you drop pieces. There is no checking
-as to whether you actually hold the piece you are trying to drop; we rely
-on ICS to check that. Notation of the form P@f7 is generated and parsed.
-The mate detector does not understand that non-contact mate is not really
-mate in bughouse, but this does no real harm. It results in a "#"
-suffix being displayed on the move notation, but xboard does not assume the
-game is over.
-
-* Bug fix: Promotion to a knight was not working with ICC! Thanks to
-Wendigo for the report.
-
-* Bug fix: Special pty code for host types *-*-aix3* and *-*-irix3*
-(supplied from configure.in) had a bug that would cause childio.c to
-fail to compile, due to a "continue" that was not within a loop.
-
-* Bug fix: In pgntags.c, memory was being freed while still in use. One
-symptom this caused was that on some machines, cmail would fail with a
-message that it could not find the BlackNA tag. The error was in some
-submitted code that I included in version 3.2.pl3 without reading
-carefully enough. Anders Forberg noticed the symptoms, and Evan Welsh
-(who had nothing to do with causing the bug) found the bug and submitted a
-fix; thanks to them both.
-
-* Removed restriction against using EditGame while playing, observing,
-or examining on ICS. You still get a warning popup.
-
-3.3, patchlevel 3 -- Sat Sep 16 11:44:05 PDT 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* Bug fix: Going directly from MachineWhite to TwoMachines mode would kill
-off the second chess program after Black's first move.
-
-* Added -timeIncrement feature. Thanks to Joel Rivat.
-
-* Deleted code that tries to keep you from observing more than one game,
-or observing while playing or examining. There is actually no problem in
-doing this, except that every time an update comes in from a different
-game than is currently being displayed, xboard fetches the history of the
-new game, which may be time-consuming if you are on a slow link.
-
-* Fixed configure so as not to crash when neither lex nor flex is found.
-lex or flex is needed only if the user wants to rebuild parser.c. Thanks
-to Phil Humpherys for reporting the crash.
-
-* Bug fix: config.h.in used #define instead of #undef for some macros used
-in the pty code in childio.c. This causes the code to fail to compile on
-some architectures, because the symbols are supposed to be undefined, not
-defined to empty, when they are not set in configure. Bug originated in
-3.3.pl0 when config.h was introduced. Thanks to Phil Humpherys for report.
-
-* Bug fix: ShowThinking would not show anything when current position had
-no move to display in the move window. E.g., if position was created by
-LoadPosition or EditPosition.
-
-3.3, patchlevel 2 -- Mon Aug 28 11:11:11 PDT 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* Zippy code was omitted from xboard-3.3.pl1 by mistake; now included.
-
-* For WinBoard, added hint to help file that you may need to turn off
-LocalLineEditing while typing dialing commands to your modem.
-
-3.3, patchlevel 1 -- Sat Aug 19 15:13:30 PDT 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* Zippy distribution is no longer separate from regular xboard distribution.
-
-* Deal properly with Show Thinking output from GNU Chess when it is
-thinking on its opponent's time. In TwoMachines mode this output is
-suppressed to avoid interfering with the output from the machine that is
-on move; in other modes it is displayed (including the move that GNU Chess
-is predicting the user will make next). GNU Chess produces this output
-only if it is built without -DQUIETBACKGROUND defined; this symbol is
-defined by default in patchlevels before pl75, but undefined by default in
-pl75.
-
-* Bug fix: Handling of initial board position in move list for wild games
-was broken, so wild games could not be observed and adjourned wild games
-could not be continued. Thanks to "Maximum Entropy" for the bug report.
-
-* Added feature: algebraic notation now shows "+" indicator for check
-and "#" for checkmate, as called for in PGN standard. Thanks to Kevin
-Maher for the suggestion.
-
-3.3, patchlevel 0 -- Thu Jul 27 22:21:07 PDT 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* Changed configuration to use a config.h file instead of passing zillions
-of -D options on the cc command line.
-
-* Merged a small fix and some updates to the texinfo file from Jochen
-Wiedmann. The texinfo file still needs work.
-
-3.2, patchlevel 5 -- Tue Jul 18 20:29:39 PDT 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* Beta test release of xboard only.
-
-* Updated WinBoard code to include new xboard features.
-
-* Added texinfo file from Jochen Wiedmann to the release, but not as the
-primary documentation. It needs updating, and the English needs work.
-I did make a few improvements, mostly to change incorrect uses of @var to
-either @samp or @code as appropriate.
-
-* Merged in code changes to 3.2.pl4beta from Jochen Wiedmann.
-
-* Fixed EditComment; did not pop up window in previous beta.
-
-* Added AutoComment feature.
-
-* Added GameListDestroy to disable the outdated game list popup in cases
-where we load a new game file without building a new popup.
-
-* Added yyskipmoves feature to parser.l to speed up building of gamelist.
-
-* gamelist.c wouldn't compile with a non-ANSI compiler. Fixed.
-
-* Change to yy_text handling in patchlevel 3 still had problems. Can't
-use AC_DECL_YYTEXT in configure.in, because that defines YYTEXT_POINTER
-according to whether the lexer on the current host makes yytext a pointer.
-But most people will be using a parser.c that was generated on another
-host and shipped with the package.
-
-3.2, patchlevel 4 -- Sun Jun 25 19:13:43 PDT 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* Beta test release of xboard only.
-
-* Added FIREWALLS section to man page.
-
-* Changed -icsport to be a string. Now with the -telnet option,
-specifying -icsport "" suppresses the second argument to telnet.
-
-* Added EditTags feature. Removed AboutGame from menu, because EditTags
-subsumes it. EditTags suggested by Jochen Wiedmann and first implemented by
-him in AmyBoard. xboard implementation is my own.
-
-* Fixed some missing or incorrect prototypes.
-
-3.2, patchlevel 3 -- Sat Jun 3 18:57:38 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* Beta test release of xboard only.
-
-* New version of cmail from Evan Welsh, to fix compatibility problems with
-perl 5.0.
-
-* Added game list feature on Load Game, based on code from Jochen
-Wiedmann. Integrated it with cmail.
-
-* Several bug fixes from Jochen Wiedmann, including one to my yy_text
-workaround for the difference in the type of yytext between lex and flex.
-
-* Handle clock pause on FICS.
-
-* Suppress clocks in untimed FICS games (time control 0 0).
-
-* Rebuilt configure script with autoconf 2.3. This fixes a bug in
-configuring for X11R6, where -lSM -lICE would not be added when needed.
-
-* Fixed inconsistent type declarations on IntSigHandler and
-CmailSigHandler. Bug report from Josh Daynard.
-
-* backend.c wouldn't compile with a non-ANSI compiler. Fixed.
-
-3.2, patchlevel 2 -- Tue Feb 7 14:50:30 1995 Tim Mann
-
-* Minor release of both xboard and WinBoard.
-
-* Added recognition of some FICS messages. On the other hand FICS is also
-changing some of its messages to match what xboard already recognizes.
-
-* Temporarily went back to using "promote" command on ICS instead of
-"a7a8=Q", because FICS doesn't implement the latter yet.
-
-* We now avoid using overlapped I/O on pipes in WinBoard, to make Windows
-95 beta 2 happy. This lets WinBoard work with GNU Chess on Windows 95!
-
-* Installed patches from Jochen Wiedmann to coordinate with Amiga XBoard.
-
-* Installed patch to cmail bug in LoadGame from Evan Welsh.
-
-* Bugfix: checkmate and stalemate moves entered with EditGame in ICS mode
-were not being handled correctly. Bug was in GameEnds().
-
-* Implemented EchoOn and EchoOff for xboard, using system("stty echo\n").
-Now passwords won't be echoed when you connect directly to ICS. Also,
-telnet negotiation characters aren't displayed (when possible).
-
-* Implemented more of the telnet protocol. Now connecting to a telnet
-server with "-icsport 23" should work even without giving the -telnet
-option. The telnet is in "old line-by-line mode".
-
-3.2, patchlevel 1 -- Sat Dec 10 13:50:46 1994 Tim Mann
-
-* This patchlevel released for WinBoard only.
-
-* winboard.c: Fixed ConsoleInputThread(). Needed to change CRLF to LF,
-not to CR. This was stopping normal /ics mode from working. Thanks to
-Asher Kobin for the bug report.
-
-* winboard.c: Fixed Raw(), EchoOn(), EchoOff(). Now they take effect
-immediately, not on the next console read after the one in progress.
-
-* winboard.c: Attempted to make WinBoard work with gnuchessx running
-directly on Windows (not remotely via rsh). It now works on NT, but only
-if gnuchess is told not to think on its opponent's time ("easy\n" removed
-from initString). The problem seems to be that GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent
-is not doing anything. On Windows 95 beta 2, we get error messages on
-both reading and writing to gnuchessx; I didn't investigate why.
-
-3.2, patchlevel 0 -- Wed Dec 7 13:23:36 1994 Tim Mann
-
-* Thanks to all the beta testers who gave me feedback: Josef Nelissen,
-Steve Booth, Evan Welsh, Dima Dakhnovsky, Chris Petroff, Peter Jansen,
-Derek Terveer, Michel van der List, Richard Lloyd, Shelly Mistry, and Mike
-Lee. Sorry if I forgot anyone. Thanks to Virendra Kumar Mehta for
-information about DYNIX/ptx.
-
-* Don't exit on keyboard EOF unless we get two in a row.
-
-* WinBoard only: added -localLineEdit switch to allow turning off local
-line editing if you really want to. It is still a bad idea to let the
-echoing be done remotely, however; see below.
-
-* Fixed some configure problems on HP-UX. [Steve Booth]
-
-* Fixed (I hope) configure problem on SunOS 5.3/Solaris 2.3. [Josef Nelissen]
-
-* cmail bugfix from Evan Welsh (cmail 3.4).
-
-3.1, patchlevel 9 -- Fri Dec 2 23:54:56 1994 Tim Mann
-
-* Beta distribution only
-
-* Always do local echo/edit of user typing in ICS mode. Doing the echo
-downstream may seem nicer in some modes, and it can be hard to turn that
-echo off, but the echoed characters can be interleaved with ICS output
-and make it impossible to parse correctly. For xboard this involved only
-a change to recommendations in the man page, as Raw() isn't implemented.
-For WinBoard, removing Raw() made a real difference. Added code in
-WinBoard to change /r/n back into /r on keyboard input, as we get the
-former when Raw() is not called.
-
-* Do not issue ICS "refresh" command after we start to observe a game
-unless we get to the next prompt without seeing a board image. Newest
-version of ICS doesn't require this refresh, but old versions around still
-do.
-
-* cmail bugfix and small code cleanup in LoadGame, from Evan Welsh.
-
-* Added keyboard accelerators N/P for LoadNextGame/LoadPreviousGame. Evan
-Welsh request.
-
-* Using "-" on the command line as a filename for loading (saving) games
-or positions specifies the standard input (standard output). Alain Picard
-suggestion.
-
-* On WinBoard only, a command line option without a leading '-' or '/' is
-now taken as the value of -lgf.
-
-* Changed to not use stdin, stdout, stderr as initializers in backend.c;
-needed for GNU libc compatibility. You also must build parser.c with flex
-(not lex) if you are using GNU libc, to avoid having the same problem
-there.
-
-* Changed WinBoard to avoid using "overlapped" input on the console. It
-now seems to fully work on Windows 95 beta 2.
-
-* Improved comment popups on WinBoard. Now newlines are handled properly,
-and the plain Comment popup window doesn't disappear and reappear when we
-step to a new move with a new comment.
-
-* Fixed bugs in detecting the absence of the time and otim commands.
-
-* Added built-in implementation of rcmd protocol to WinBoard. Windows NT
-does not implement passing signals through rsh, and Windows 95 does not
-have rsh at all.
-
-* Added -remoteUser option.
-
-3.1, patchlevel 8 -- Mon Nov 28 15:26:07 1994 Tim Mann
-
-* Beta distribution only
-
-* Rearranged ChangeLog file into reverse chronological order to be closer
-to GNU standards.
-
-* Integrated new cmail code from Evan Welsh (including cmail RCS rev 3.2).
-Includes a bug fix to TruncateGame.
-
-* Updated ICS address to be chess.lm.com.
-
-* Bug fixes to handling the aftermath of FatalError. Thanks to Chris
-Petroff for the bug report.
-
-* Test for remsh before rsh, other fixes for HP-UX. Thanks to Richard
-Lloyd. I wasn't able to do all the things he suggested, so there may
-still be some rough edges in building on HP-UX. See the FAQ file for hints.
-
-* Bug fix; added missing check for HAVE_SYS_SYSTEMINFO. Thanks to Josef
-Nelissen for testing on Solaris 2.x.
-
-* Updated WinBoard to match xboard. (WinBoard still has a few option
-dialogs that don't exist in xboard.)
-
-* Changed Hint output to a popup.
-
-* ShowThinking output and move output no longer overwrite each other.
-ShowThinking output won't appear if the displayed position is not current.
-ShowThinking output in TwoMachines mode made clearer and documented.
-
-* Implemented --enable-ptys and --disable-ptys arguments to configure.
-
-* Fixed Book and Hint code to work over a pty with echo enabled and tabs
-expanded to spaces. Thanks to Dima Dahknovsky for the bug report.
-
-* Moved Attention calls from all over xboard to one place, inside
-SendToProgram.
-
-* Added bulletproofing to ShowThinkingEvent.
-
-* Added code to handle "refresh N" boards that come in from ICS properly,
-assuming ICS is changed to mark them with a new relation code (-3).
-
-3.1, patchlevel 7 -- Sun Nov 13 22:16:01 PST 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Beta distribution only
-
-* Changed ShowThinking to just show the current best line in the
-DisplayMessage area, instead of dumping everything to stdout.
-
-* Installed new cmail (RCS rev 3.1) and cmail.man (RCS rev 1.10), and
-changes to cmail code in backend.c, from Evan Welsh.
-
-* Miscellaneous minor fixes.
-
-3.1, patchlevel 6 -- Fri Nov 4 12:53:53 PST 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* This patchlevel was not actually released to anyone.
-
-* Updated the pty code to be based on GNU Emacs 19.24, and moved it to a
-separate file. It was hard to split out just the pty configuration from
-all the stuff emacs does with its custom configure script and .h files,
-but I did my best.
-
-* Converted from imake to GNU autoconf. This was a serious upheaval.
-
-* Put in code to help trap "error gathering move list" problem reported by
-Michel van der List if it recurs. I couldn't reproduce it.
-
-3.1, patchlevel 5 -- Mon Oct 31 21:12:00 PST 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Beta distribution only.
-
-* We now test for checkmate or stalemate in EditGame mode after every user
-move, and in LoadGame mode whenever we hit the end of a game without
-seeing a PGN end marker. cmail needs an update to deal with this
-correctly; Evan promises one.
-
-* Bugfixes in new move generator. Thanks to Mike Lee for reporting one of
-the bugs.
-
-* Imakefile was omitted from patchlevel 4.
-
-3.1, patchlevel 4 -- Mon Sep 19 18:19:46 PDT 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Beta distribution only.
-
-* The move generator includes a mate tester. Initially this is used only
-by cmail, and even that usage needs further work.
-
-* Wrote a true move generator and used it to replace all the move
-disambiguation and legality checking code in parser.l. The move generator
-is capable of dealing correctly with en passant and castling availability,
-but the rest of the program still does not keep track of this information.
-
-* Bug fix: xboard did not handle "foo has made you an examiner of game 23"
-message. Thus you could not use examine features until the next board
-came in, showing your new relation to the game. Thanks to POOKIEWOOKIE on ICS
-for the bug report.
-
-* Added AutoObserve feature. Thanks to Chris Petroff for the idea.
-
-* Added Book feature to use new gnuchess "bk" command. Mike McGann request.
-
-* Redid code to handle missing "time" command in gnuchess, because latest
-gnuchess no longer sends a response to this command.
-
-* Eliminated need for -DFLEX. Thanks to Michael Shields (Vladimir?) for
-the idea.
-
-* Added missing code to implement MoveNow in TwoMachines mode.
-
-* Added ShowThinking feature. Thanks to Richard Lloyd for the idea.
-
-* Applied patches from Evan Welsh; some fixes and improvements to the
-cmail code.
-
-* Fixed bug in moving from EndOfGame mode to MachineWhite or MachineBlack,
-introduced in previous patchlevel. Also fixed related bug in ending a
-game in ICS mode; was entering EndOfGame mode instead of IcsIdle.
-
-* Added patch to implement internetChessServerLogonScript flag, from Kevin
-O'Connor. Thanks!
-
-3.1, patchlevel 3 -- Wed Sep 7 13:22:07 PDT 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Beta distribution only.
-
-* Merged in new cmail code from Evan Welsh. He added the ability to have
-more than one game per message, needed for official IECG matches. I added
-the ability to resign or offer/accept/decline a draw in a cmail game.
-
-* Bugfix: invalid -tc option caused segmentation fault; DisplayFatalError
-was called too early in initialization. Georges Honore reported this bug.
-
-* Decided to keep EndOfGame mode as an element of the user interface---it
-means that a gnuchess game or loaded game has ended, and the user must
-explicitly select EditGame to edit it, rather than just being able to
-enter more moves freely. But internally there is no longer an invariant
-tying this mode to whether the chess program is running.
-
-* Zippy bugfix: Was saving only the final position in the -sgf file when
-the game ended by something other than resignation or flag. Also fixed
-the longstanding bug that Zippy would think the final board of such a game
-was a new game and restart the chess program.
-
-* Now does a better job of faking castling availability in FEN. We still
-don't really keep track of it, but now at least we don't say that castling
-is still available when the king or rook is not on its home square.
-
-* Bugfix: Initial board of game history for wild games was going through
-too much processing, causing us to forget the game length, which is now
-needed by ParseGameHistory. This was causing problems with resuming
-adjourned wild games.
-
-* Updated ICS host to ics.onenet.net.
-
-* Zippy now accepts challenges where the opponent specified his color.
-
-* Added ZIPPYPASSWORD2 to let operator give commands directly to gnuchess.
-
-* Bitmap directory can include alternative icons now, too.
-
-* Handle "Game * (*) has no examiners" message from ICS.
-
-* Revamped window title and icon name selection.
-
-3.1, patchlevel 2 -- Sun Jun 12 17:16:28 PDT 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* "Beta" distribution for Zippy users only.
-
-* Bugfix: common.h was assuming that X11 type Boolean is char, which is
-not always true. This might have caused all sorts of obscure bugs!
-
-* Installed new bitmaps from Elmar Bartel as the default. Many thanks!
-The old bitmaps can be used by changing the "bitmaps" symbolic link before
-compiling xboard, or by using the -bitmapDirectory option at runtime.
-
-* Loading a game that ends with the PGN unfinished symbol ("*") now always
-leaves you in EditGame mode.
-
-* Added documentation of -icscomm to man page. Thanks to Maarten Remkes
-for the linux script.
-
-* ^C now kills gnuchess as well as xboard. Thanks to Dima Dakhnovsky for
-reminding me how to do this.
-
-* Bitmap icon color now indicates player to move. Stuart Cracraft
-suggestion.
-
-* Changed piece bitmap flags to have just one flag, which points to a
-directory full of bitmaps, instead of a flag for each bitmap. Also
-changed bitmap naming convention.
-
-* "Connection closed by ICS" is no longer a FatalError popup. This was
-too annoying in the normal case where the user typed "quit".
-
-* Changed default font to 14 pixels instead of 10 points. This seems to
-make it close to the size I want it to be on more displays.
-
-* Major mode (GNU Chess, etc.) appears in title bar. Stuart Cracraft
-request.
-
-* Bug fix: EditGameEvent, MachineBlackEvent, MachineWhiteEvent, and
-TwoMachinesEvent were calling PauseEvent to get out of pause mode, which
-now has undesired side effects, such as advancing the display to the
-forwardMostMove. It works fine to just set pausing = FALSE instead.
-
-* IcsExamining mode now lets you access ICS edit position commands using
-the same popup menus as xboard's EditPosition mode. Thanks to DAV on ICS
-for inspiring the idea.
-
-* Corrected test for gcc on HP in Imakefile; thanks to Richard Lloyd.
-
-3.1, patchlevel 1 -- Wed Jun 1 16:25:11 PDT 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Added parser.c.lex and parser.c.flex to the distribution.
-
-* Added HP gcc options to Imakefile, from Mats Nylen.
-
-* EndOfGame mode no longer highlights EditGame mode indicator, because the
-modes really do differ. I would like to get rid of EndOfGame mode in the
-future, at least as far as users can see.
-
-* Larger %a in parser.l, needed for RS/6000 users.
-
-* Minor improvements to Mail Move error messages.
-
-* When -debug flag is given to xboard, -v is passed to cmail.
-
-* Old Save Style uses "1. ..." instead of "1..." when black moves after a
-comment; more like xboard 3.0's actual style.
-
-* New version of cmail from Evan Welsh. Looks for UCB Mail in a more
-portable way and has some minor bug fixes.
-
-* Bug fix: Saving a FEN position while in EditPosition mode with black to
-play was showing white to play in the saved position.
-
-3.1, patchlevel 0 -- Fri May 20 16:36:15 PDT 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* This is the first general release since 3.0, patchlevel 9. Releases
-since then have been limited-distribution or beta releases.
-
-* Thanks to my version 3.1 beta testers: Dmitry Dakhnovsky, Ed Hanway,
-Richard Lloyd, Mike McGann, Shelly Mistry, Josef Nelissen, Chris Petroff,
-Jack Robertson, Michel van der List, Ky Macpherson, Derek Terveer, and
-Evan Welsh. Sorry if I've forgotten anyone who gave me feedback.
-
-* Updated man page.
-
-* Minor cleanup on menu sensitivity code.
-
-* Integrated another even better version of cmail from Evan Welsh,
-including some code he supplied in xboard itself.
-
-* A few more fixes to cmail support.
-
-* Automatically update clocks after an ICS "moretime" command.
-
-* Handle ICS automatic examine mode (set examine 1) after a game.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 14 -- Tue May 17 13:41:44 PDT 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Beta test release only.
-
-* Don't suppress prompt on first board of game being examined; otherwise
-it looks like nothing happened at all (i.e., like you're lagged).
-
-* Added StopExamining and StopObserving (Chris Petroff suggestion).
-
-* Made Reset do a refresh on ICS. John Chanak's original ICS code for
-xboard tried to do this; I finally decided it was a good idea after all.
-
-* Fixed bugs in handling updates that come in while you are pausing in
-examine mode. This is pretty tricky to do right.
-
-* Made un-Pausing immediately pop you to the current position. This is
-always necessary in examine mode, since the game may have changed under
-you; your remembered moves might no longer be right. So I made it do the
-same in all modes.
-
-* Took Detach Examine mode back out...used Pause mode for this instead!
-
-* Put in a trap for the GNU Chess bug of printing an Illegal Move message
-when its own hint move is illegal.
-
-* Attempted to fix a Zippy bug; bogus "exited unexpectedly" messages after
-it checkmates its opponent. This involved adding an argument to GameEnds
-to say who says it ended (ICS, GNU, etc.) and taking different actions in
-different cases. Unfortunately, this just restored an older Zippy bug, where
-Zippy restarts gnuchess when it gets the board with the final position,
-because GameEnds still puts xboard in EndOfGame mode. Sigh.
-
-* We now capture elapsed time on last move when getting game history.
-(Josef Nelissen bug report)
-
-* Rewrote code to redisplay last file title so it really works.
-
-* Fixed bug in oldSaveStyle.
-
-* Larger %a and %o were needed for lex.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 13 -- Mon May 16 16:26:22 PDT 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Beta test release only.
-
-* FatalError popups stay on the screen now. If the error is really fatal,
-all functions are disabled, and the program exits when you press OK.
-
-* Redisplay last file title when using Load (Next/Previous/Same) Game.
-
-* Zippy understands new match challenge message format on ICS.
-
-* Added Revert command.
-
-* When examining a game on ICS, < > buttons do ICS backward/forward
-commands, unless you set the Detach Examine option. Thanks to Dima
-Dakhnovsky for the idea.
-
-* Fixed various minor problems in cmail mode.
-
-* cmail generates the tags now. New version of cmail from Evan Welsh.
-
-* cmail mode won't let you do MailMove unless the currently displayed
-position is exactly one move past the end of the game you loaded.
-
-* Fixed building of man pages in Imakefile
-
-* Updates to INSTALL file
-
-3.0, patchlevel 12 -- Sat May 7 21:10:03 PDT 1994 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Beta test release only.
-
-* Brought man page up to date.
-
-* Added Shift+R to resign from keyboard.
-
-* Some items on Action menu available in GNU Chess mode now.
-
-* Revamped Action menu.
-
-* Reordered functions in backend.c as a small step toward reorganizing
-this whole mess.
-
-* Generate TimeControl PGN tag.
-
-* Get type of ICS game (e.g., rated blitz) and save in PGN tags.
-
-* Bug fix: Clocks were not redisplayed when entering EditGame mode.
-
-* Bug fix: Clocks were not being redisplayed after loading a game file
-with -td 0, so they could show the wrong color active.
-
-* Bug fix: Chess programs would be killed and match mode would exit
-prematurely when loading a PGN game fragment ending with "*".
-
-* ICS command "sposition" no longer confuses xboard.
-
-* Integrated new version of cmail (with support code in xboard) from Evan
-Welsh.
-
-* Added TruncateGame, MoveNow, RetractMove, and QuietPlay.
-
-* Bug fix: switching between MachineWhite and MachineBlack was not calling
-Attention(). Reported by Dino Dini.
-
-* More improvements to INSTALL and Imakefile.
-
-* Pack moves into 79 character lines in PGN output. We don't generate
-check indications, and we always break the line before the result,
-so this is not quite PGN export format.
-
-* Use FEN tag in PGN.
-
-* Improved finding and counting of game starts in save files.
-
-* Negative position or game numbers in -lpi/-lgi mean to seek to that byte
-offset. Hook for possible future features, not in man page.
-
-* Detect and handle absence of either "time" or "otim" commands in
-gnuchess.
-
-* Don't use "promote" command to ICS anymore.
-
-* Handle switching sides and taking back moves on FICS.
-
-* Handle flip state flag in style 12 board.
-
-* Handle examine mode on ICS.
-
-* Improved error popups for various kinds of illegal moves.
-
-* Suppress unasked-for hints from gnuchess (which it generates in post
-mode).
-
-* Load/save position functions use FEN. Old style also supported.
-
-* Added detailed error messages if loading a bitmap file fails.
-
-* Small board has 2-pixel lines between squares instead of 3-pixel.
-
-* Added OldSaveStyle and AboutGame.
-
-* Renamed ForceMoves to EditGame.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 11 -- Tue Sep 21 15:25:36 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* The following changes were present in xboard 3.0, patchlevel 11, but the
-first group did not make it into WinBoard 3.0 until later. xboard
-3.0.pl11 was a limited-distribution release only, mostly to Zippy users.
-
-* Man page minor fixes.
-
-* Added a missing file close.
-
-* Removed automatic error popdown on Reset, which was destroying some
-error messages before they could be read.
-
-* Fixed char vs. unsigned char warnings on bitmaps.
-
-* Use ICS board style 12. Some improvements to ICS parsing.
-
-* Comment window is now labelled with the move the comment is on, and
-comments don't pop down when you step to the next move.
-
-* Save files now in PGN format.
-
-* Support for loading PGN files. PGN tags pop up when a PGN game file
-is loaded.
-
-* More info in INSTALL and Imakefile about building for Suns (and
-other systems).
-
-* WinBoard 3.0 patchlevel 11 split off from an early version of xboard
-3.0 patchlevel 11, so it does not have all the features of that
-patchlevel. The following changes made it into both xboard and
-WinBoard:
-
-* Made Comment dialog non-modal in WinBoard.
-
-* EndOfGame mode is now more transparent. It looks like ForceMoves
-mode except that there is no chess program running.
-
-* Small bug fixes in clock management. Most noticeably, pausing when
-it is gnuchess's move now works as documented (again).
-
-* Add minimal support for -icscomm option. Not documented yet because
-I haven't sorted out the issues with setting the tty modes on the comm
-port device, or with locking it properly. But it's usable by wizards.
-
-* Don't restart the chess program upon Backward event from EndOfGame mode.
-
-* Suppress extra prompt after ICS sends us a board.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 10 -- Sat Sep 11 18:44:03 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Beta test release only.
-
-* Zippy now plays chess. zippy.c and zippy.h are still not included
-in the standard distribution, but are available on request.
-
-* Switched to using style 12 on ICS.
-
-* Updated man page, and documented use of XBoard*form.translations to
-add more shortcut keys.
-
-* Added shortcut keys "d" to claim/offer/accept a draw, and "t" to
-call flag. Suggested by venu on ICS.
-
-* More explicit instructions in INSTALL file.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 9 -- Tue Sep 7 14:02:00 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* General release, minor update to 3.0.pl8.
-
-* Loosened checking on whether it's okay to start a move, to satisfy
-ICS ultra-blitz players. Now we don't check whether it's your turn
-until you let go of the piece.
-
-* Parser now recognizes "+-+" as meaning the game ended in a draw.
-
-* Got rid of S_NONE symbol, which seems to conflict with some symbol
-Sun defines.
-
-* Tweaked the man page. Clarified that there is currently no way for
-two people running copies of xboard to play each other without going
-through the Internet Chess Server.
-
-* Fixed a bug in color name conversion. Asking for two different
-colors whose names were the same in the first four characters would
-get you two copies of the first one. Thanks to Volker Zink for the
-bug report.
-
-* Improved confusing Usage() message.
-
-* Added a bunch of Sun information to the Imakefile and INSTALL file.
-Thanks to Ed Hanway, Arik Klingensmith, and others who responded.
-
-* Test for defined(WIN32) instead of !defined(unix).
-
-* Avoid using (void *) type with non-ANSI C compilers. Thanks to
-James Altucher for the bug report.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 8 -- Thu Sep 2 12:23:01 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Note: Patchlevel 8 was the first non-beta release of xboard 3.0
-
-* Added cmail to distribution. Contributed (and still maintained) by
-Evan Welsh.
-
-* Bug fix: -queen option wasn't initializing menu check. Reported by
-Pat Surry.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 7 -- Thu Aug 26 13:23:24 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Sent WinBoard 3.0.pl7 to Torre on ICS
-
-* Added parser.h to hold the interface to parser.l
-
-* Upgraded COPYING file and copyright notices to GNU GPL version 2.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 6 -- Tue Aug 24 15:16:13 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* We no longer display intermediate positions or intermediate comments
-while loading a game file with -timeDelay 0 or loading an opening to
-start up a -matchMode game.
-
-* Loading an empty game from an xboard save file now gives a status
-message "No moves in game" instead of an error popup saying "Game not
-found in file."
-
-* Added comment.awk to distribution.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 5 -- Tue Aug 17 16:45:54 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Bug fix: xboard would crash if it couldn't get all its colors; now
-it switches to monoMode instead. Also, xboard was trying to convert
-color resources even when using a b/w display. Reported by Larry
-Rogers.
-
-* Bug fix: Declared fields of TimeMark as signed so that we get signed
-instead of unsigned arithmetic. SubtractTimeMarks was breaking on
-Alpha AXP (which has 64-bit longs) with old declarations. Reported by
-Michel van der List.
-
-* Bug fixes: Keyboard accelerators now work after EditComment window is
-popped down. Iconize keyboard accelerator now works even if xboard
-was started with -iconic flag and later deiconized.
-
-* Bug fix: The routine that tests whether a move is illegal because it
-would leave you in check was not handling e.p. captures properly.
-Reported by Patrick Surry.
-
-* Bug (?) fix: Was adding time to clocks at time control even when
-loading a game file. Actually it's not entirely clear how time
-controls should be dealt with when some moves are loaded from a file
-or clicked in with ForceMoves. For now ForceMoves mode does add the
-time (because it can be used to change moves during a live game), but
-LoadGame mode does not.
-
-* Updated usage message.
-
-* Previous attempted fix to matchMode had broken TwoMachines mode and
-generally needed more work. Also simplified command line interface to
-matchMode.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 4 -- Thu Aug 5 14:17:18 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Thanks again to the beta testers listed for 3.0 patchlevel 3, and also
-Desnogues, Steve Cariglia, Niklas Engsner, Mark Silver, and Roger Rowe.
-
-* Reorganized man page, splitting OPTIONS into subsections.
-
-* matchMode was very broken; fixed.
-
-* Changed convention for turning off command line options from --opt
-to -xopt, to be less inconsistent with GNU standards. Also changed
-the long command line options to take True/False arguments like
-resources; seems to make more sense this way.
-
-* Added AlwaysQueen option -- suppresses promotion dialog and always
-promotes to a queen if you move a pawn to the last rank. Has no
-effect on gnuchess (or your ICS opponents!) -- they can still
-underpromote.
-
-* Subtracted an extra fudge term when determining how wide message and
-title widgets should be. This fixes a problem some beta testers had.
-Wish I knew why it's needed.
-
-* Bugfix in parser; symptom was that you couldn't do LoadGame after
-observing a game on ICS.
-
-* Bugfix in Forward; didn't work after game ended while Pause was turned on.
-
-* Removed bogus execute bits on .h files.
-
-* Use REMOTE_SHELL and TELNET_PROGRAM definitions.
-
-* MachineWhite and MachineBlack now work from TwoMachines mode.
-
-* Popping down an error message with the [ok] button was not turning off
-the errorUp flag, so the next move would cause xboard to try to pop it
-down again, resulting in a wild memory reference and sometimes a crash.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 3 -- Tue Aug 3 17:40:27 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Thanks to my beta testers: Patrick Surry, Takuya Kojima, Robert J. Luoma,
-Chris L. Petroff, Richard K. Lloyd, Michel van der List, Craig Metz,
-Antoon Frehe, Simon Clift, Shelly, Eric Peterson, Christopher Mitchell,
-Martin Koch, Ed Hanway, Steve Booth, Udo, Ken Hobday, and Joseph Duhamel.
-
-* Improved error messages for trying to move the wrong color pieces or
-to move when it's not your turn.
-
-* Special code for monoMode on 1-bit displays now understands displays
-where 1=white and 0=black.
-
-* Declare getenv() if <stdlib.h> not included; avoids a compiler warning.
-
-* Documented borderXoffset and borderYoffset.
-
-* Added -titleInWindow option for use with X window managers that
-don't let us set the title in the window banner.
-
-* Fixed error message printing in WinBoard; system error messages no
-longer appear as numeric codes.
-
-* The error message popup is now non-modal; you don't have to press the
-[ok] button before you can do something else. In addition, the popup is
-positioned so that it doesn't cover up the board (too much), and making a
-move or otherwise clicking on the board pops it down. (Not implemented in
-WinBoard.)
-
-* You can now call your opponent's flag in ICS mode by clicking on his
-clock.
-
-* Fixed minor bugs in -flipView option and documented exactly how xboard
-decides which way to flip the view.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 2 -- Fri Jul 30 22:20:23 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Added Autosave to Options menu. Would be better to have Save
-Options dialog as in WinBoard, but this was quick to do and gives the
-most-needed functionality.
-
-* Changed "Reload Game" on menu to "Reload Same Game".
-
-3.0, patchlevel 1 -- Thu Jul 8 21:22:59 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Sent a copy of patchlevel 1 to Patrick Surry to beta-test.
-
-* Added -cmail option that sets appData.cmailMode. Currently a no-op.
-In the future this may set special modes for use by the cmail script
-for playing chess by email.
-
-* Added LoadNextGame, LoadPreviousGame, and ReloadGame to File menu.
-ReloadGame suggested by Patrick Surry.
-
-* Added -flipView command-line option. Suggested by Patrick Surry.
-
-* Fixed bugs in parser.l: (1) Pattern for "# xboard game file ..."
-needed to match to end of line. (2) Start of a new file was not matching
-the ^ start-of-line character. The fix for this is a kludge.
-
-* Made game counting code in LoadGame more robust, and made LoadGame
-able to detect the end of a saved partial game (by noticing the start
-of the next game) in game files created by XBoard itself. We don't
-try to find the start of the next game that way in other kinds of game
-files, because the only way I can think of to do that is to look for
-another move #1, and that technique gets too many false hits.
-
-* Fixed recently introduced bug in LoadGame when game starts with a
-position diagram.
-
-3.0, patchlevel 0 -- Fri Jun 25 14:17:17 PDT 1993 -- Tim Mann
-
-* Changes in this patchlevel were too numerous to list. Larger ones are
-listed below.
-
-* Added a popup dialog to enter and edit comments. Inspired by some
-code from Patrick Surry. Changed the normal read-only comment popup
-to the same style.
-
-* Added ICS init script feature from Karl Schwamb.
-
-* Added some ESIX fixes and OMIT_SOCKETS ifdef option, from Kayvan Sylvan.
-
-* Revamped code to allow use of flex instead of lex on parser.l.
-Using flex requires adding -DFLEX to defines in Imakefile.
-
-* Source code is split into front end (xboard.c), which knows about X
-and Unix, and back end (backend.c), which knows about chess, gnuchess,
-and the ICS. There is also a front end for Windows NT.
-
-* Boolean command line options now use "-foo" to turn on and "--foo"
-to turn off instead of "-foo true" and "-foo false". [Later -xfoo;
-see above.]
-
-* Added menu commands to control autoflag, bell, and coords options.
-
-* User interface has a new look: (1) Menu bar instead of array of
-buttons. A few very commonly used features have small buttons in
-addition to being on the menus. (2) Large font for clock. (3) Pop-up
-dialogs for errors.

- Crafty Command Documentation (version 18)
- -----------------------------------------------
-Crafty is nothing more than a long-time hobby of mine, dat-
-ing back to Blitz and later Cray Blitz. People ask me how I
-keep doing this, and that is the one question that generally
-leaves me at a loss for words.
-
-Perhaps the most common question I'm asked is "is this ver-
-sion of Crafty some dumbed-down version of what you play on
-ICC or what you use at a computer chess event?" The answer
-is a resounding *NO*. The current version is *exactly* what
-is running on ICC under this version number. Note that a
-new version can, on occasion, introduce weaknesses or out-
-right bugs that were not present in previous "gold" ver-
-sions. As a result, you should be careful to back up your
-"favorite" before trying the latest and greatest. If you
-aren't satisfied with the new version, you can then go back
-to what you believe is a better version.
-
-If you are looking for the strongest playing computer chess
-program available, you should likely look to Fritz, Rebel,
-Tiger, and the other commercial entries. There you will
-find strong opponents with polished interfaces that have
-been tested in a systematic and careful way. If you are
-looking for a program that plays good chess, has a reason-
-able set of features for you to use, is available in source
-form, and one where the author welcomes feedback, code or
-suggestions, then you are at the right place. I welcome
-comments and suggestions, and also feedback from ideas you
-try yourself that seem to work.
-
-Crafty is a state-of-the-art computer chess program, and
-uses all of the search algorithms you have probably read
-about, negascout search, killer/history move ordering, SEE
-(Static Exchange Evaluation) quiescence move ordering and
-pruning, hash (transposition/refutation) tables as well as
-evaluation caches, selective extensions, recursive null-move
-search, and a host of other features that have been used and
-are still being used in most computer chess programs. If
-it's not in Crafty, either it is on the "to do" list, or it
-has been tried, found wanting, and discarded.
-
-Chess Knowledge is growing, and suggestions (or even better,
-real code) are welcome. This is the best place to con-
-tribute your ideas, because knowledge can be used to sup-
-plant search and make it play better. The evaluation is
-probably the easiest place to start studying Crafty because
-of the comments and simplicity of using bitmaps, *once* you
-get "into" them.
-
-My purpose for doing this is an exercise in computer chess
-efficiency. I can't begin to count the number of people I
-know that started from scratch to write a chess program.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Even larger is the group that started from scratch, and gave
-up before finishing, because of the basic size of the pro-
-ject.
-
-Crafty offers everyone a very clean starting point, if you
-are fascinated by the bitmap chess board implementation (as
-I am). The search and quiescence code is reasonably
-straightforward, as is the evaluation,
-
-It offers a great starting point, so that if you are inter-
-ested in trying a new search extension, you can be testing
-tomorrow, rather than next year, because you start with a
-fully functional chess engine that is not a "toy" applica-
-tion, but is a functional and "dangerous" chess player. It
-offers a rapid start, although you can certainly replace it
-piece by piece until it is "yours" if you want. It also
-offers a fairly complete set of commands and an interface
-for a GUI as well as support for chess server play, so that
-testing and debugging your new ideas is greatly simplified.
-
-If you'd like more information, please check out the read.me
-document and the crafty.FAQ that are distributed with
-Crafty. These contain recent news and specific instructions
-for commonly asked questions, like "where can I obtain
-tablebase files and how do I use them?"
- How to play a game.
- -------------------
-When you execute Crafty, you will immediately be greeted by
-the prompt string "white(1): " and Crafty will wait for com-
-mands. This prompt means it is white on move, and we are at
-move #1 for white. You can first use any of the commands
-from the alphabetic command listing below to tailor the game
-to your liking (time control, hash table size, book random-
-ness, etc.) and then you have two choices. If you want to
-play white, just enter your move, and Crafty will take it
-from there and make a move in response. You will then be
-prompted by "white(2):" and it is your move again. If you
-would prefer to play black, just enter either "move" or "go"
-at the prompt and crafty will move for that side rather than
-accepting a move from you. After it makes its move for
-white, you will then see the prompt "black(1): " indicating
-it is now time for blacks first move. You can enter a move,
-or you can once again enter "move" or "go" and Crafty will
-again move for the current side, change sides, and prompt
-you for what to do next.
-
-If you find yourself continually using a set of commands to
-configure crafty to play as you want, you can put these com-
-mands in a startup file called .craftyrc (Unix) or crafty.rc
-(DOS/Windows). The format for this file is just like you
-would type the commands at the keyboard, with the require-
-ment that the last line of the file must be "exit" on a line
-by itself. Using this, each time you start Crafty, it will
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-first execute the commands from this file before it prompts
-you for input.
-
-While Crafty is running, you can control what it displays,
-but here's a couple of samples to explain what it is saying
-and why:
-
- depth time score variation (1)
- book moves {d4, c3, Nc3, d3, b3, c4, g3, b4, Be2, Bb5}
- book 0.0s 70% d4
-
-White(3): d4
- time used: 0.01
-
-This is the normal output for those cases where Crafty is in
-book. The book moves line gives the set of book moves that
-made the first selection cut (see the book selection expla-
-nation given later), followed by the move actually played,
-in this case d4.
-
-If Crafty is out of book, then the output looks somewhat
-different as given below:
-
- depth time score variation (1)
- 4-> 0.81 2.09 6. dxe4 Bxe4 7. Rad8 Qf2 8. Qb5
- 5 1.37 2.41 6. dxe4 Bxe4 7. Ne5 Qf4 8. Bxe4+
-Qxe4 9. f5
- 5-> 1.88 2.41 6. dxe4 Bxe4 7. Ne5 Qf4 8. Bxe4+
-Qxe4 9. f5
- 6 7.38 -- 6. dxe4
- 6 11.90 1.97 6. dxe4 Bxe4 7. Rab8 Qf2 8. Qc7
-Nc5 9. Qe5
- 6 12.92 ++ 6. Ne5
- 6 13.71 2.23 6. Ne5 Qg2 7. Ng6 h5 8. Nh4 Qg4
- 6-> 15.59 2.23 6. Ne5 Qg2 7. Ng6 h5 8. Nh4 Qg4
- time: 15.60 cpu:99% mat:1 n:246565 nps:15927
- ext-> checks:4706 recaps:1336 pawns:0 1rep:301
- nodes full:45951 quiescence:200614 evals:104657
- endgame tablebase-> probes done: 0 successful: 0
-
-Let's take this stuff one line at a time. Lines that have
-something like 4-> in the depth column are printed when that
-iteration (depth) is completely finished. The time and
-score columns should be obvious as to their meaning as is
-the PV, the sequence of moves that led to this score. One
-note about the "score" column. As of version 18, Crafty
-displays the score with + values good for white, - values
-good for black, no matter which side it is playing in the
-game. All output now follows this convention, from playing,
-to analysis mode, to annotating your games, to whisper-
-ing/kibitzing on the chess servers, and so forth. This is
-unlike other engines, but once you get used to it, it is
-much less confusing when you remember that negative scores
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-are good for black and bad for white, and vice-versa.
-
-the line that has -- in the score column means that when we
-started depth 6, dxe4 turned out to be worse than we thought
-(notice score dropped from 2.411 last search to 1.972 for
-this move this search.) To resolve this, Crafty lowers the
-lower search bound (alpha) and re-searches the move to find
-the score. The line with ++ means that this move (Ne5) is
-better than the best move so far, so Crafty raises the upper
-search bound (beta) and re-searches this move to find the
-new score.
-
-the first line of statistics gives the total time taken for
-this search, the cpu percentage which should stay at 98-100%
-unless your machine is heavily loaded or unless Crafty is in
-an endgame that is having lots of contact with endgame
-databases. If this drops below 98%, it means that Crafty is
-not getting full CPU usage and will be playing weaker than
-normal. The mat:1 is simply the true material score, since
-Crafty's positional scores are often larger than a pawn.
-
- Alphabetic Listing of Commands
- ------------------------------
-
-1. alarm on|off This command is used to control Crafty's
-"beep" after it makes a move. Turning this off will make
-Crafty "quiet" when it plays, but also makes it easy to miss
-a move if you are using crafty to play in a tournament.
-This is primarily designed to make Crafty tolerable during
-late night matches.
-
-2. analyze This command puts crafty into analyze mode. In
-this mode, Crafty starts computing for whichever side is on
-move, and it continues computing and showing its analysis
-until a move is entered. This move is made, Crafty changes
-sides, and starts thinking and printing analysis all over,
-but for the other side now.
-
-This command is useful to play through a game, because you
-get instant feedback when you try a move. If you want to
-try a different move from the one you just entered, use the
-"back" command to back up one move, or use "back <n>" to
-back up <n> moves. Note that one move is a single move for
-the last player, not a move for both sides. To unmake the
-most recent 2 moves (one for black, one for white) use "back
-2".
-
-3. annotate|annotateh <filename> <colors|name> <moves>
-<margin> <time> This command is used to annotate (make com-
-ments in) a game that has already been played.
-
-The annotate command produces a file with the .can extension
-added to the original name. This file will contain pure
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-ascii information from the annotation pass. "annotateh"
-produces an HTML file instead (with the .html extension).
-This includes the normal output, plus a nice bitmapped
-graphical board display for every position where crafty had
-'something to say'.
-
-<filename> is the name of the file that has the game moves
-stored in it. This should be a PGN-compatible file,
-although Crafty can read nearly any file with chess moves
-and convert it to pgn using the "read" and "savegame" com-
-mands to perform the conversion.
-
-<colors|name> indicates which side Crafty will annotate.
-The valid choices are w, b, and wb/bw for white only, black
-only, and both, respectively. Crafty will search and pro-
-duce results for the indicated color only, making moves for
-the other side silently as they are read in.
-
-Alternatively, you can specify the player's name (useful if
-you want to annotate several of your own games in one large
-pgn file, for example, and you alternated colors so that you
-can't pick the right one easily). Crafty will then figure
-out which side to annotate for in each game. Note that the
-name is case-sensitive, but that you only have to enter a
-string that is unique in the name field. IE if one name is
-"Anatoly Karpov" and the other is "unknown" then specifying
-Karpov as the name would be sufficient. If the same
-'string' appears in both names, Crafty will complain.
-
-<moves> indicates the moves that should be annotated. If
-this is a single integer, annotation starts at this move
-number (for the color given above) and proceeds for the rest
-of the game. If a range is given, as (20-33), then only
-moves 20-33 inclusive are annotated. To annotate the com-
-plete game, you can use 1-999.
-
-<margin> gives a score "window" that controls whether Crafty
-will produce comments (see below). The larger this number
-this number, the fewer annotations Crafty will produce. A
-negative number will result in an annotation for every move
-selected.
-
-<time> indicates the time limit for each search. Since each
-move selected requires two searches, you can take the number
-of moves, double this number and multiply by <time> to
-determine how long the annotation process will take. This
-time is in seconds.
-
-How it works. Suppose you use the command "annotate game1 w
-1-999 1.000 30" This asks Crafty to read the file "game1",
-and annotate the white moves for the entire game. The mar-
-gin is 1 pawn and the search time limit is 30 seconds. The
-output for the annotate command is found in <filename>.can,
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-in this case this is game1.can.
-
-Crafty first searches the move actually played in the game
-to determine the score for it. Crafty then searches the
-same position, but tries all legal moves. If the score for
-the best move found in this search is greater than the score
-for the move actually played plus the margin, then a comment
-is added to the output file. This output file is quite
-short, with all the game moves (plus any PGN tags in the
-original, for identification purposes) plus the brief com-
-ments. An annotation looks like this:
-
-{real_value (depth:best_value PV moves)}
-
-real_value is the score for the move actually played. depth
-is the depth Crafty searched to produce the best_value and
-PV for what it thinks is the best sequence of moves for both
-sides. If you set <margin> to 1.000, you are asking Crafty
-to only annotate moves that either lost a pawn or more, or
-moves that failed to win a pawn or more. If you set <mar-
-gin> to .300, you are asking for annotations for any move
-that makes the score drop about 1/3 of a pawn below the
-value for the best move Crafty found.
-
-If you have other moves you would like to see analyzed dur-
-ing this annotate process, at the point where the move can
-be played, insert it into the PGN file as an analysis com-
-ment, surrounded by () or {} characters. Crafty will pro-
-duce analysis for this move as well. If more than one move
-appears inside a single set of delimiters, only the first
-will be analyzed. To force Crafty to analyze more than one
-move, enter them like this: (move1) (move2) as though they
-were two separate comments.
-
-4. ANSI on|off This command is used to control whether or
-not Crafty attempts to display its move in reverse video or
-not. For PC's, Linux, and most Unix boxes, this works fine.
-Should you find yourself playing crafty via a dumb terminal,
-this might hose the terminal and interfere with your ability
-to see or input moves. If moves are not displayed in
-reverse video, it's probably wise to turn this off to avoid
-hanging the terminal you are using.
-
-5. black|white This command simply toggles the side on
-move. if it is white to move, and you enter white, nothing
-happens. If it is white to move and you enter black, then
-it becomes blacks turn to move immediately from the same
-position. Used only infrequently.
-
-6. book (see the book explanation near the end of this doc-
-ument for a full explanation of this command and its many
-options.) Note that there are special commands available
-(*only* on the command line, *not* in the
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-crafty.rc/.craftyrc files) to direct crafty to specific
-directories for the book files (bookpath=/a/b/c), the table-
-base files (tbpath=/i/j/k) and the log files (log-
-path=/x/y/z). Note that these commands can *only* be used
-on the command line, because they must be executed before
-the engine is initialized. Putting them in the
-crafty.rc/.craftyrc file will produce error messages without
-affecting how the files are opened.
-
-If you need to specify multiple directories (tbpath only)
-you may do so by using "tbpath=path1:path2:path3:etc" or
-else use the more Unix- like
-"tbpath=(path1:path2:path3:etc)" instead. The paths are
-separated by ":" (colon) characters and everything is case-
-sensitive as usual. For dos/windows users, the separator
-can be a semi-color (;) or a comma(,) to avoid the drive
-designation ambiguity.
-
-7. cache=N This command is used to alter the cache size
-used for endgame database probes. N can be a simple inte-
-ger, representing the number of bytes to use or it can be
-specified as nK or nM representing n * 1024 bytes or n *
-1024 * 1024 bytes. This should be in multiples of the
-database "chunk" size, which might vary. Using the nM form
-guarantees that you will have a reasonable number.
-
-8. clock <ctime> <otime> This command is primarily
-intended for use when Crafty is playing in a tournament,
-such as the WMCCC or WCCC events. If the operator is some-
-what slow in entering moves, or forgets to stop the clock
-after making a move for Crafty, the chess clock for the game
-will drift from the values that Crafty maintains internally.
-<ctime> is the time (in minutes or hh:mm format) crafty has
-left until the next time control, and <otime> is the oppo-
-nent's remaining clock time. This command can be used at
-any time, but will only affect the time per move *after*
-crafty makes the current move and starts to think about what
-the opponent might do next.
-
-9. computer This command usually comes from xboard/win-
-board, but can be used at any time to tell Crafty it is
-playing a computer. This will prevent some things from hap-
-pening, such as a draw score that varies, as well as adjust-
-ing the book selection code to be more selective in what it
-plays.
-
-10. display this command is used to display the game
-board. This board is displayed using the ICS style #1 type
-of ASCII display, with white always at the bottom of the
-screen, black at the top. Very unusable to play a game
-with, but good to verify a position after it has been set
-up.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-This command is also used to display the various
-piece/square tables, by typing "display <piece>" where
-<piece> is replaced by pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen or
-king. The board is oriented in the same way as the display
-board with a one-to-one correspondence between the squares.
-Perhaps useful for curiosity, but not for anything else.
-These values can not be modified by the user.
-
-The final version of this command is used to control what
-kind of output you will see when crafty runs. Currently the
-following options are available.
-
- display time: this will make Crafty display the
- amount of time each side takes after making a move.
-
- display changes: this will make Crafty display the
- PV each time it changes during the search, including
- when a move fails high or becomes a new best move.
-
- display variation: this will make Crafty display the
- PV at the end of each iteration, but it will only show
- the best PV for the entire iteration, not all of the
- changes.
-
- display stats: this enables basic search statistics
- output including time, nodes and so forth.
-
- display extstats: this enables extended search stats
- including the hashing statistics, search extension
- statistics and so forth.
-
- display movenum: causes all PV output to have move num-
- bers embedded in them to make the PV possibly easier to
- read. This causes the PV to look like this: 12. ...
- Nxe4 13. Bxe4 h6 rather than simply Nxe4 Bxe4 h6. This
- is very helpful when playing on a server and whispering
- or kibitzing analysis. It will also be useful when
- crafty is run from within a database program as the
- move numbers will sync up with the actual game.
-
- display moves: will display each root move as it is
- searched, along with updating the search time at the
- bottom of the screen, so you can see what move is cur-
- rently being analyzed.
-
- display general: will display general information mes-
- sages whenever Crafty wants to tell you something (ie
- "clearing hash tables" or other such things like "Mate
- in n moves."
-
-If you put a "no" in front of any of these options, that
-will disable that particular type of output.

-
-11. draw offers Crafty a draw. It generally will look at
-the value returned by the last search, and compare it with
-the value returned by an internal function DrawScore(). If
-the search value is not above this result, then Crafty will
-accept the draw. If the search value is above the theoreti-
-cal value for a draw, Crafty will decline the draw. Note
-that crafty will offer draws based on internal analysis.
-When it offers a draw, you can respond with "draw" although
-the game does not really end until you exit Crafty.
-
-12. drawscore N sets the draw score (or contempt factor) to
-N. If you want crafty to avoid draws, set this number to
-something that is negative. IE -50 says that a repetition
-(draw) is the same as being 1/2 pawn down. Setting it to
-+100 will make it try very hard to draw because that looks
-like it is winning a pawn when it does so. Note that this
-is dangerous (either way) as a -50 in a king and pawn ending
-is very likely dead lost... and a repetition is better.
-
-13. echo <text> This command is normally used inside a
-command file that you are going to use to "feed" crafty some
-positions for analysis or whatever. Since crafty depends on
-the operating system to echo commands as they are typed,
-commands read in from a file are "invisible." This gives
-you the ability to insert commands into such a file so that
-crafty displays a message on the screen to give you an idea
-of where it is in processing the file.
-
-14. edit This command has been "cloned" from GnuChess to
-provide an interface with Xboard. After entering the "edit"
-command, you are in "edit.white" mode, where any
-piece/square combination you enter will add the indicated
-white piece on the given square. Piece/squares are entered
-as "qa3", or "bc4" for example. This puts a white queen on
-a3 and a white bishop on c4. Once all white pieces are
-entered, typing a "c" changes to "edit.black" mode where
-piece/square combinations now place black pieces. Typing a
-"." character exits edit mode. To clear the board ini-
-tially, you use the "#" character.
-
-Here's a sample to set up the original starting position,
-after white has played 1. e4, but no other moves have been
-played.

-
-Note that input is free form, so piece/squares can be
-entered one per line or all on one line. Ditto for the #,
-c, and . special characters. Note also that there is no way
-to enter castling status here. It is far better to use the
-"setboard" command which uses a FEN-like syntax and allows
-you to set both castling and enpassant status.
-
-15. egtb This command enables the endgame databases.
-Crafty will use the "tbpath" directory (if provided) to
-locate and register all of the databases you have down-
-loaded. It will report the largest class it found, as in "5
-piece tablebase files found" if you downloaded at least one
-5-piece file. If you use this command to enable databases,
-you should also consider using the "cache" command to spec-
-ify the egtb cache size.
-
-16. end|quit These commands are used to terminate crafty.
-Note that you can resume a game later without having to
-replay the moves, by starting Crafty using the "crafty c"
-command. It will immediately read in the moves for the last
-game, although you will have to set the time controls and
-clock time remaining yourself.
-
-17. evaluation option <value> This command is used to mod-
-ify the evaluation scores.
-
-The option "asymmetry" is used to make crafty evaluate king
-safety differently for each side. "evaluation asymmetry 25"
-will increase the king safety scores for the opponent only,
-meaning it will pay less attention to its own king safety
-than to that of its opponent. This will make it play more
-aggressively. "evaluation asymmetry -25" will reduce the
-king safety scores for for the opponent by 25%, making it
-care more about its own king safety than that of its oppo-
-nent. This will make it play more defensively.
-
-The "bscale" option will adjust the scores for blocked
-pawns. The default value is 100. Increasing this will tend
-to make Crafty dislike blocked pawn positions more, which
-will lead to more open positions. Note that this only
-affects moves _after_ the opening book has been followed,
-which means that the position might be blocked before the
-evaluation term has a chance to affect the game.
-
-The "kscale" option will adjust all king safety scores based
-on the 'value' entered. For example, "evaluation kscale 50"
-will reduce all king safety scores to 50% of their normal
-value. "evaluation kscale 133" will increase all king
-safety scores to 133% of their normal values.
-
-The option "tropism" is used to scale king tropism scores.
-This will attract pieces toward kings. A value of 100 means
-no change. other values are treated as a percentage (like
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-scale) to increase (> 100) or decrease (<100) the king
-tropism scores.
-
-When you use this command, you will see something like this:
-
-modified king-safety values:
-white: 0 4 16 26 39 45 58 77 87 90 93 96 100 103 106 109
- 112 116 119 122 125 128 128 128 128 128 128 128 128 128 128 128
-
-black: 0 5 20 32 48 56 72 96 108 112 116 120 124 128 132 136
- 140 144 148 152 156 160 160 160 160 160 160 160 160 160 160 160
-
-Those values represent the king-safety evaluation as the
-king gets more and more exposed. This is always based on
-the fast that "crafty" will be the side on move when the
-search starts. In the above, it was white's move when this
-was typed, meaning that it appears that crafty will be play-
-ing black. Notice that white's king safety numbers are
-scaled by 20% to make it slightly more cautious about its
-own king. If you type "go" in this position, the scores get
-reversed as Crafty's scores are always left alone (with the
-asymmetry option) and the opponent's scores are scaled down
-as indicated.
-
-You will see similar numbers (but not black and white sets)
-that represent the actual scores produced for king tropism.
-Note that pieces interact to choose which element of this
-vector is used, but in general, the more pieces are close to
-the king, the larger the element from this array.
-
-The "pscale" option is used to scale normal pawn structure
-scoring in the same way as the other scaling options. 100
-is the default. Values less than 100 reduce this term, val-
-ues over 100 inflate it.
-
-The "ppscale" option is used to scale some passed pawn scor-
-ing in the same way as the other scaling options. 100 is
-the default. Values less than 100 reduce this term, values
-over 100 inflate it. This mainly effects outside passed
-pawns/protected passed pawns. The normal pawn scoring com-
-putes the value of a passed pawn. This term is then used to
-scale those terms that modify this value further, such as
-two connected passed pawns on the 6th, or a passed pawn with
-the king supporting it in an endgame.
-
-18. extensions type value
-
-This command is used to control the extension depth for the
-various extensions done in Crafty's search. The extensions
-are set as decimel numbers that represent plies (or frac-
-tions of plies) to extend for each particular reason. Most
-default to 1.0 and .75, but any value can be used. Note
-that value > 1.0 are _very_ dangerous as they can cause the
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-search to become non-terminating (crafty will stop when it
-runs out of time for the move, but it might not be able to
-get anything useful from such a search).
-
-These extensions are presently limited to a maximum of one
-ply of extensions at any point in the tree. IE no matter
-what you set these values to, they can not exceed one ply at
-present.
-
-incheck This is the amount to extend when the side on move
-makes a move that leaves the opponent in check. Note that
-Crafty extends on the ply where the check is played, not on
-the next ply where the opposite side is in check.
-
-onerep This is the one-reply-to-check extensions, and is
-done at the point where one side is in check and has exactly
-one legal move to escape from the check.
-
-pushpp This is the extension used for certain passed pawn
-pushes in the endgame.
-
-recapture This is the recapture extension, and is applied
-when the current move recaptures an equal-valued piece that
-made a capture at the previous ply. IE BxN, PxB. Note that
-this can only be applied once for every two plies so that
-BxN, BxB, NxB, NxN won't look like three recaptures.
-
-mate This is the mate threat extensions and is applied when
-a null move search returns -MATED, which means that doing
-nothing gets the side on move mated. The opponent must have
-some sort of serious mate threat in such a position.
-
-19. flag on|off This command is used to force crafty to
-end a game where the opponent runs out of time with win-
-board/xboard (on) or to ignore this (off) if desired.
-
-20. force [move] This command is used to force Crafty to
-play a move that is different from the one chosen and played
-by the tree search. If [move] is given, and it is a legal
-move, Crafty will retract its last move and make this move
-instead. It does not change the side on move, but does
-change the position of course. If [move] is not given,
-Crafty will prompt you for a move to make.
-
-21. help This command displays multiple pages of one-line
-help, one command per line. If a line ends with [help],
-then you can use help followed by the specific command to
-get detailed help.
-
-22. history This command displays the history in a verti-
-cal column with one move for white and one per black per
-line. There are other ways to display the current game
-moves and also to save them in files that are explained
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-later.
-
-23. hash=x and hashp=x These commands are used to adjust
-the size of the hash tables in Crafty. hash modifies the
-size of the transposition/refutation table, while hashp mod-
-ifies the size of the pawn structure/king safety hash table.
-The sizes may be entered as one of the following two types
-of values: nnnK where nnn is an integer indicating how many
-Kbytes Crafty should use for this hash table; nnnM where nnn
-is an integer indicating how many Mbytes Crafty should use.
-
-The transposition/Refutation table is the most critical of
-the two, because it directly affects search efficiency, par-
-ticularly in the endgame. For this reason this should be
-maximized. The most effective size for this hash table is
-3/4 of your available memory. If you don't know how to fig-
-ure this out, but know that you have 16 megs for example,
-they you can say hash=16M and crafty will round that down to
-12M, which is 3/4 of a power of two size. If you study the
-sizes that are possible, you will find 3M, 6M, 12M, 24M,
-48M, and so forth. Anything up to, but not including, the
-next size will be rounded down to the next lower size.
-hashp should be set to approximately 1/2 of what is left.
-For example, the P6 Crafty runs on when playing on ICC often
-uses hash=48M and hashp=8M. The only thing to watch for is
-that if you make this too large, particularly under windows,
-performance will suffer badly because of paging I/O over-
-head. When Crafty is searching in a normal (non-book, non-
-endgame database) position, the disk light should *not* be
-on, indicating lots of I/O.
-
-There is no danger in making this table too large, although
-you have to watch out because if Crafty barely fits in mem-
-ory, doing something else on the machine can cause Crafty to
-be swapped out completely or partially, depending on the
-operating system you are using. If you are going to use the
-machine for anything else while Crafty is running, it is
-better to "pretend" that the machine only has 1/2 of the
-memory it actually does when computing the size of the hash
-tables you want to use.
-
-24. import <filename> [clear] This command is used to
-import any sort of learning data that Crafty supports, which
-currently includes book learning data and position learning
-data. This command reads the appropriate <filename> and
-imports that learned data, just as though Crafty had learned
-it by playing the games. The [clear] option, if specified,
-caused all old learned results to be cleared before the
-import operation, otherwise the imported data is simply
-added to what is already present.
-
-25. input <filename> This command is used to redirect the
-console input I/O stream from the keyboard to a file.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Crafty will then read commands from this file, rather than
-from the keyboard, and execute them just as though they were
-typed in. Such a command file *must* be terminated by an
-"exit" command (no quotes) as the last command in the file.
-This reverts the input stream back to the keyboard, and
-prompts you for another command or move.
-
-This command might be used to configure crafty for a spe-
-cific time control, by putting the appropriate time control
-commands in the file, or to customize the hash table sizes
-as needed.
-
-26. info This command is used to display information about
-Crafty and the current game. Such things as the time con-
-trol, the time left on the clocks and other information is
-shown.
-
-27. learn n controls the learning facilities in crafty.
-Currently this is a 3-bit boolean switch, bit 1 (001) con-
-trols book learning, bit 2 (010) controls position learning,
-and bit 3 (100) controls result learning. learn=0 disables
-all learning, learn=1 enables book learning only, learn=2
-enables position learning only, and learn=4 enables result
-learning. Add the values together to turn on more than one
-type of learning (default=7 to enable everything).
-
-28. level <m> <t> <inc> This command was taken directly
-from GnuChess so that the Xboard/WinBoard interface would
-interface with Crafty. There are other better ways to set
-the time, but this one is well-known. The three parameters
-are <m> (number of moves in the game) <t> initial time on
-the clock. After <m> moves are made, this amount of time is
-added to the clock again. <inc> is the Fischer-Clock incre-
-ment that is added back to each clock after a move is made.
-It may be zero for a non-increment game.
-
-Examples:
-
-level 0 5 0 (ICS 5 0 game)
-level 0 5 3 (ICS 5 3 game)
-level 0 15 30 (ICS 15 30 game)
-
-29. list GM|IM|C|AK|S +name [+name ...] -name [-name ...]
-This command is used to maintain the internal "lists" Crafty
-uses to auto-tune itself when playing on a chess server.
-There are three lists, GM, IM and C. If Crafty's opponent
-is in any of these lists, Crafty adjusts internal controls
-that affect how/when it resigns or offers draws, and how
-randomly it will choose moves from the opening book. For
-example, Crafty resigns much sooner against a GM, because it
-assumes he knows how to win a rook-up ending, regardless of
-how much time is left. By the same token, when playing
-against computers, Crafty will always assume that a draw is
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-0.000, so that it doesn't wreck its position trying to avoid
-repeating a position.
-
-The AK list will automatically kibitz scores/PV's if the
-opponent is in this list. The S list will turn on special
-scoring for opponents in this list. The only current member
-is "mercilous".
-
-The syntax +name1 +name2 simply adds these players to the
-specified list. To remove a name, use -name1 -name2. You
-can use one command per name to remove or add, or you can
-use one command to add and remove multiple names. Note that
-all names must be entered in lowercase characters, using any
-uppercase characters will break the matching algorithm.
-
-30. log off|on|<n> This command is used to disable log-
-ging. The default is log on, which causes crafty to produce
-a new log.nnn file for each game played. If you are running
-Crafty on a server, you might use log off, which disables
-creating these files as well as the game.nnn files used to
-restart a game after you exit crafty and come back later.
-If you use the form "log n" crafty will simply display the
-last n lines of the log on the screen. If you use "log n
-file" crafty will copy the last n lines of the log to "file"
-which could be your hard drive, or a floppy.
-
-Note that if you run with log off, you will be unable to
-find out what Crafty was thinking about since there is no
-other record of the game. You will always see a game.001
-because as crafty plays a game, this contains all the real
-moves played so far so that you can back up if needed. you
-will also see a log.001 file, but it will be empty.
-
-31. ls <filename> will list all the files that match the
-filename wildcard (the wildcards depend on the system you
-are using, but generally *, ? will work fine. you can also
-supply path information in the filename if you want to list
-the contents of a different directory. Just use the same
-syntax you would if you were using "ls" under unix or "dir"
-under windows.
-
-32. mode tournament|normal This command is primarily used
-to put Crafty into "tournament" mode, which is intended for
-use when Crafty is playing in computer chess events. It
-accomplishes two things: (1) makes all draws return a score
-of 0.000, and (2) makes crafty issue a message after each
-move showing the internal chess clock time, and requesting
-that that operator check and adjust as needed using the
-"clock" command. This primarily makes Crafty comply with
-computer chess rules that say the operator can't do anything
-not specifically requested by the program.
-
-33. name <name> This command is an ICS-play specific
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-command. Xboard/WinBoard uses this to inform Crafty of the
-opponent's name. Crafty uses the name, and looks it up in
-its GM/IM/C lists, and if found, adjusts itself accordingly.
-This is not used by the PGN code and this will not cause the
-players <name> to show up in the PGN tag section.
-
-34. new This command wipes everything out and starts a
-brand new game. It closes the old log-file and game-file,
-and opens the next sequential numbered file. It also resets
-the game to the beginning and prepares to start a brand new
-game. This was added for Xboard, but it turns out that
-Xboard does not use this, rather it starts Crafty fresh for
-each new game by first terminating the old copy then start-
-ing a new one. Not nearly as efficient as using "new" but
-likely safer it a program can't be sure of resetting every-
-thing back to the initial state.
-
-35. noise <n> This command sets the "noise" level in
-Crafty. Basically, until <n> nodes have been searched,
-crafty will be silent and not display analysis.
-
-This is useful in two ways. First, in end-games, 20+ ply
-searches are not uncommon, and the search analysis for the
-first few plies arrives so quickly that it is distracting.
-Second, when observing games (new interface only) on ICS
-servers, this can be used to avoid having Crafty generate
-too many analysis kibitzes. A value of 100000 will basi-
-cally shut off any output for the first second or so (on a
-P6/200). Similarly, 1000000 will eliminate any output for
-about the first 10 seconds. When watching and kibitzing
-games like the World Championship games on ICC, I generally
-use 5000000, which is almost one minute of silence so that
-the first PV it kibitzes is a pretty deep search.
-
-noise 0 will cause *all* analysis to be displayed, which on
-a fast machine causes no problems. On a slower machine, or
-over a slow phone connection, this might cause a big commu-
-nication backlog. The default is roughly one second on a
-P6/200 (100000) but can be modified by this command.
-
-36. operator <n> Another command intended for use when
-Crafty is playing in a tournament, operated by a human.
-This tells crafty to "hide" <n> minutes of time and not use
-them. This time is basically allocated to the operator to
-make up for the time it takes to type in moves and/or cor-
-rect mistakes. At the WMCCC events, the normal value we use
-is 5. Playing on a server, this is not needed, as it is not
-needed if you are playing Crafty yourself.
-
-37. perf This command is primarily used in optimizing
-Crafty, or to test the speed of the move generator and Make-
-Move()/UnMakeMove() on different platforms. It produces two
-results, the moves it can generate per second, and the moves
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-is can generate and make/unmake per second. While this is
-not a perfect performance indicator, it does give an
-"approximation" for how fast Crafty might run. In general,
-the higher the numbers, the better the program will play,
-although machines are certainly different. It's not uncom-
-mon to find a machine that searches slower than another, but
-has a higher "perf" value.
-
-38. perft <depth> This command is generally used to con-
-firm that the move generator and bitmap operators are work-
-ing properly. It simply takes the current position, and
-generates/makes/unmakes moves and counts them. Many pro-
-grams use this from a "standard" position to make sure that
-their move generator does not miss generating odd moves like
-enpassant/promotions and also to confirm that the
-make/unmake code correctly updates the board so that the
-totals remain constant across different machines and pro-
-grams, since there is no alpha/beta or evaluation things
-done. if <depth> is greater than 5 or 6, it will take a
-*long* time, since this is basically a minimax tree traver-
-sal that will visit *every* node within the <depth> search
-horizon.
-
-39. pgn <tag> <value> This command is used to set the
-usual PGN tags to meaningful values. The recognized tags
-are Event, Site, Round, Date, White, WhiteElo, Black, Black-
-Elo, and Result, and the tags *are* case sensitive. The
-<value> can be any valid input and blanks and special char-
-acters are allowed. Note that the date is clearly specified
-in the PGN standard and must be yyyy.mm.dd with no variance.
-Valid results are 1-0 (white won), 0-1 (black won), 1/2-1/2
-(drawn) and * (unknown). Some examples:
-
-pgn Event 14th World MicroComputer Chess Championship
-pgn Date 1996.10.8
-pgn Site Jakarta, Indonesia
-pgn Round 1
-pgn White Crafty
-pgn WhiteElo 2400
-pgn Black assassin
-pgn BlackElo 2400
-pgn Result 1-0
-
-Setting these values will result in a proper PGN file when
-using the savegame command. Note that if you use the "read"
-command to input a PGN game, these values will be extracted
-from that game if they are given.
-
-40. ponder off|on|<move> This command serves two purposes.
-First, it can be used to disable (off) or enable (on) think-
-ing on the opponent's time (or pondering as it is called in
-many programs including Crafty.) Turning it off will weaken
-Crafty since it will not use any machine time while waiting
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-on the opponent to move. It is sometimes useful, however,
-when playing Crafty against another computer and the
-machines are not equal. If crafty is on a faster machine,
-and you attempt to adjust for this by giving the opponent
-more time than Crafty, it doesn't work quite as expected,
-because while the opponent is thinking, so is Crafty, which
-lets it use the extra opponent time in an unexpected way.
-In such a case, it's best to stop pondering in both pro-
-grams.
-
-If <move> is given, it directs Crafty to use that <move> to
-ponder, rather than the one from the previous search. Most
-commonly this is used to set the right move to ponder after
-Crafty has been stopped and then restarted, assuming that it
-is the opponent's turn to move when this happens. Other-
-wise, it is probably better to not try to influence things,
-although if you are watching and suddenly wonder "what would
-Crafty do if the opponent plays move 'X'?", you can answer
-this by simply typing "ponder X" and then watching the anal-
-ysis. You should reset the correct ponder move after you do
-this of course.
-
-41. reset <n> This command lets you back up in the current
-game to any move of your choice. reset <n> backs up the
-game to move <n> with the same side on move. If you want to
-first change the side to move, use the white/black command,
-then use the reset command to back up to the right move.
-Note that you can also go forward as well, just so there are
-moves in the current game history.
-
-42. resign <n> This command sets the resign threshold.
-When running on ICC I typically use "resign 9" which will
-make crafty resign roughly five moves after the score drops
-below -9.000. For IM's I change this to 6, and for GM's I
-often use 3, so that it will resign quicker and not drag a
-lost game out unnecessarily.
-
-43. read/reada [<filename>] This command will read input,
-and extract the chess moves and make them to set up the
-position at the end of the game. It first resets the chess
-board to the initial position (read command only) and then
-extracts the PGN tags (if present) from the front of the
-input. The rest of the input is parsed for chess moves
-(comments and similar things are culled automatically) and
-the moves are made and added to the game history. Once this
-is done, you can back up, go forward, or play from any point
-in the game. If you specify a <filename> everything is read
-from the file, otherwise it is read from the console key-
-board.
-
-The reada command reads moves, but appends them to the cur-
-rent game history/ position rather than resetting to the
-initial chess position. This lets you read in a game, then
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-use reada to manually add some more moves to see the result-
-ing position.
-
-44. savegame <filename> This command is used to save the
-current game in a PGN-compliant file with the PGN tags
-included. Note that the default TAG values might not be
-what you want if you do not either use the pgn command to
-set them or else input a valid PGN file with the tags
-already filled in.
-
-Be aware that this command doesn't check the filename for
-legality since anything goes in UNIX. In DOS, you might
-produce a bad filename with either too many characters, too
-many periods, or whatever, so be careful with the name you
-choose. Note also that this file will be overwritten if it
-already exists, so be sure to choose a name that is not the
-name of a file that has something you consider important in
-it.
-
-45. savepos <filename> This command writes a single line
-into <filename> in FEN-like notation. This lets you save a
-position, and then come back later to re-examine it. You
-would use the "in <filename>" command to input this file and
-set the position up.
-
-46. search <move> This command allows you to specify one
-particular move for the side on move, and then when you tell
-Crafty to search this position, this is the only move that
-will be searched. This is used internally by the annotate
-command, but can be used to investigate one specific move.
-If the move is not the best move, a normal search won't show
-you why it is bad, but this will. It is also quite a bit
-faster since the other moves in the position are not
-searched at all.
-
-47. settc <moves> <ctime> <otime> This command is primar-
-ily used in tournaments, and is an error-recovery command.
-If the machine crashes and corrupts the game history file,
-frequently the operator will have to simply set the position
-using the setboard command, and then use the settc command
-to restore the time control values. <moves> is moves until
-the next time control (from Crafty's perspective, be careful
-and don't look at the opponent's moves to time control by
-accident.) <ctime> is minutes left on Crafty's clock,
-<otime> is minutes left on the opponent's clock.
-
-48. setboard <FEN input> This command is used to set a
-chess position up for analysis and is the preferred way to
-do this, rather than using the gnu EDIT interface. It uses
-a classic Forsythe-like notation to encode the position and
-also has provisions for castling status and enpassant cap-
-ture status.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-the standard piece codes p,n,b,r,q,k are used to denote the
-type of piece on a square, upper/lower case are used to
-indicate the color of the piece (uppercase=white pieces,
-lowercase=black pieces).
-
-the pieces are entered from the classic chess diagram's ori-
-entation of a8 being the upper-left-hand corner of the
-board, and this square is entered first, followed by the
-remainder of the 8th rank left to right. To indicate empty
-squares, use a number between 1 and 8 to indicate how many
-adjacent squares are empty. use a / to terminate each rank
-after all of the pieces for that rank have been entered.
-Note that you do not have to account for all 8 squares on a
-given rank, although many test suites do this for clarity.
-
-the following input will setup the board position that given
-below:
-
- k2r/ppp////Q/5PPP/7K/ B
-
-this assumes that k represents a white king and -q repre-
-sents a black queen.
-
- -k * * -r * * * *
- -p -p -p * * * * *
- * * * * * * * *
- * * * * * * * *
- * * * * * * * *
- q * * * * * * *
- * * * * * p p p
- * * * * * * * k
- *
-the field after the final "/" should be either b or w to
-indicate which side is "on move." after this side-to-move
-field any of the following characters can appear to indicate
-the following: KQ: white can castle king-side/queen-
-side/both; kq: same for black; a1-h8: indicates the square
-occupied by a pawn that can be captured enpassant.
-
-49. score This command simply gives the positional score
-for the current position. This score is from whites per-
-spective, so a + score is good for white, a - score is good
-for black. Crafty also breaks the score down into major
-categories (from Evaluate()) to indicate things like pawn
-structure, piece evaluation, passed pawns, development, and
-so forth. Note that some of Crafty's evaluation is asymmet-
-ric, so that if you simply change sides with the white/black
-command and then enter "score" again, you may get a differ-
-ent value. This is *not* a bug. :)
-
-50. sd <n> This command lets you specify a specific search
-depth limit that Crafty can not exceed. It still pays
-attention to the clock, however, so often you will use the
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-st <n> command (below) in conjunction with this if the
-search is going to take an extended amount of time. <n> is
-the depth (in plies or 1/2 moves) that the search must
-reach. Note that if Crafty is pondering, it still honors
-this limit and will stop a ponder search after this depth
-has been completed as well. This is *not* the way to make
-Crafty play weaker, although this will be covered in a later
-section of this document.
-
-51. show <category> This command forces Crafty to display
-additional information about certain actions it takes. Cur-
-rently the only <category> is "book" which will make crafty
-display information about all the book moves it found in the
-database. More is given about this information in the BOOK
-section later in this file.
-
-52. smpmt=n This command is used to set the number of
-threads to use on a machine with more than one processor.
-For optimal performance, "n" should be set to the number of
-processors you have, although using fewer will reduce the
-load on your machine. For this command to work, Crafty must
-have been compiled with SMP defined. When compiled with SMP
-enabled, mt=0 effectively disables the SMP code completely.
-
-This command also has two that are closely related. smpmin
-and smpmax. Both accept single numerical arguments. smpmin
-is used to control the minimum tree depth required at a node
-for it to be eligible for parallel searching. IE smpmin 2
-says don't split unless at least two more plies are left to
-search below this node. smpmax sets the maximum for the
-same idea, is smpmax 10 says don't split if more than 10
-plies are remaining below this node.
-
-53. sn <n> This command is similar to the sd command, but
-instead of setting a specific search depth, it sets a number
-of nodes to search. Once the search has searched this num-
-ber of nodes (+ maybe one more second of searching to check
-the time) the search will exit.
-
-54. st <n> This command lets you specify a specific search
-time limit for Crafty. Again, this is not the preferred way
-to set a time per move, because this limit is absolute and
-Crafty will never go over this limit, even if it sees that
-it is losing or getting mated. Setting the time control
-with the usual "time" or "level" command is *much* better.
-<time> is given in seconds, although it may also be entered
-as mm:ss if preferred.
-
-55. swindle on|off This command gives you control over
-"swindle mode." When on, and playing a game, Crafty will
-try to win drawn endings (according to the tablebases) if it
-has winning chances (like KR vs KB, for example). This will
-put up very stiff "resistance" to accepting the draw, while
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-with this mode off, it may be very easy to draw a position
-once the tablebases say "drawn." This mode is automatically
-turned "off" during analysis or when annotating a game, and
-is only used when actually playing a game against an oppo-
-nent. If there are no tablebases then this has no effect on
-the game at all.
-
-56. tags This command will simply display the current PGN
-tags (you can edit them with the various PGN commands).
-
-57. test <filename> [n] This command will run a suite of
-positions (the file must be in "Crafty" format as explained
-below) and produce a summary of how many it got right,
-wrong, etc. It uses the time per move you set with the
-(typically) st <n> command. The optional parameter [n] is
-the "early exit" counter. If Crafty finds, and holds the
-solution move for n iterations, it will terminate the
-search. I use this to make a win at chess run take < 15
-minutes, even though the time per position is set to 1
-minute, by setting n to 2. After two correct iterations,
-Crafty goes on to the next problem. For absolutely correct
-results, this is not advisable as it could obviously change
-its mind later on, but for performance analysis, this saves
-a lot of time.
-
-The test suite contains the following lines: (this is a
-sample from my test suite for Win At Chess.)
-
-title wac299
-setboard 1n2rr2/1pk3pp/pNn2p2/2N1p3/8/6P1/PP2PPKP/2RR4 w
-solution Nca4
-
-title wac300
-setboard b2b1r1k/3R1ppp/4qP2/4p1PQ/4P3/5B2/4N1K1/8 w
-solution g6
-
-end
-
-The title command simply displays this message in the log
-file so you can look at the output and figure out which
-position it goes with. This is optional, but useful.
-
-The setboard command sets the position as explained before.
-
-The solution command gives the set of solution moves (one or
-more moves that are separated by blanks) and/or a set of
-"anti-solution" moves (moves that must not be played to
-count the position as correct.) "anti-solution" moves are
-simply followed by a "?" character, for example:
-
-solution Bxa7?
-
-The solution command supplies a set of key moves, and then
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-starts the search. If, after the search terminates, one of
-the key solution moves was chosen (or none of the anti-solu-
-tion moves were chosen) the position is counted as correct.
-
-The final line should be "end" although end-of-file or EOF
-will also be detected in this case.
-
-57. time CPU|elapsed|<values> This command controls
-whether the program uses CPU time or wall-clock time for
-timing. for tournament play, it is safer to use wall-clock
-timing, for testing it may be more consistent to use CPU
-timing if the machine is used for other things concurrently
-with the tests being run.
-
-time is also used to set the basic search timing controls.
-the general form of the command is as follows:
-
- time nmoves/ntime/[nmoves/ntime]/[increment]
-
-nmoves/ntime represents a traditional first time control
-when nmoves is an integer representing the number of moves
-and ntime is the total time allowed for these moves. the
-[optional] nmoves/ntime is a traditional secondary time con-
-trol. increment is a feature related to ICS play and emu-
-lates the Fischer clock where <increment> is added to the
-time left after each move is made.
-
-as an alternative, nmoves can be "sd" which represents a
-sudden death time control of the remainder of the game
-played in ntime. the optional secondary time control can be
-a sudden-death time control, as in the following example:
-
- time 60/30/sd/30
-
-this sets 60 moves in 30 minutes, then game in 30 additional
-minutes. an increment can be added if desired.
-
-One final example is the following:
-
- time sd/15
-
-which is a simple game/15 setting. This command can also be
-used to perform the same function as the "level" command.
-For example, to set up a classic ICS 2 12 game, the follow-
-ing would would work:
-
- time sd/2/12
-
-59. trace <n> This command is used to make crafty display
-the tree as it searches a position. Due to the incredible
-speed at which this program can search, however, this is
-less than useful since it can swamp any known display driver
-and make things scroll impossibly fast.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Also note that this command usually is disabled, because
-Crafty is generally compiled with the -DFAST flag, which
-removes the trace output code from the search to make things
-slightly faster. You will have to recompile, without the
--DFAST, if you want to use this. It's utility is limited,
-except for debugging, anyway.
-
-60. usage <n> is simply a way to modify Crafty's time usage
-to fit your tastes. You can "suggest" a time limit with any
-of the options discussed previously, but if you use anything
-other than the "st" command, Crafty will do its best to use
-time as you suggest, but it also anticipates that it will
-save some time by pondering, etc., and will therefore be
-more aggressive at trying to use time. if <n> is a positive
-integer, it is taken as a percentage and crafty will compute
-the time limit it thinks is appropriate for the current
-clock settings, then increase this limit by this percentage
-(50 would make it take 1.5 times longer than normal.) -50
-would make it take 1/2 the time it would normally take.
-
-Crafty adjusts the usage internally based on time left,
-opponent's time left, how quickly or slowly the opponent is
-moving, etc. Further modifying things with this is danger-
-ous, but possible.
-
-61. whisper/kibitz <n> These commands are used to control
-what Crafty will whisper or kibitz on a chess server. The
-options are (1) only whispers or kibitzes mate announce-
-ments; (2) adds time, score, depth to the previous option,
-but no PV or moves. (3) adds the PV. (4) adds book move
-information to the output. The remaining two options gener-
-ate a lot of output and should be used with caution. (5)
-displays the PV after each iteration completes. I use this
-when using my custom interface to let Crafty observe/comment
-on games in progress on ICC. Noise can be used to prevent
-shallow searches from generating output and keeping "noise"
-down on the games being watched. (6) basically will whis-
-per/kibitz nearly everything you see on the console from a
-search, each PV when it changes, fail highs and fail lows,
-etc. A significant amount of output that should be care-
-fully weighed before turning it "loose."
-
-62. xboard This command turns on Xboard/WinBoard compati-
-bility mode, and makes Crafty behave somewhat like GnuChess.
-This is designed to be used *only* when Crafty is interfac-
-ing with Xboard/WinBoard. Crafty will not work with these
-two GUIs without this option, and really won't work very
-well with this option if it is not connected to one of them.
-
-63. There are other commands that are not documented. They
-are part of the xboard protocol and really should not be
-used by the normal user. You can find all the commands in
-option.c should you be interested.

-
- Opening Book Setup and Usage
- ----------------------------
-
-Crafty uses two pre-compiled opening books, called
-"book.bin" and "books.bin".
-
-The file book.bin is usually build from a large text file
-containing PGN games, often taken from collections of GM
-games. Building book.bin is a simple exercise and requires
-nothing other than the raw input file you are going to use.
-Generally this will be either medium.zip or the set of four
-files large[1-4].zip, all of which are stored on the ftp
-machine ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/.
-
-To create the file book.bin, you need a PGN game collection
-that is a *real* PGN-compliant file. Supposing this file is
-called "large.pgn" you would use the following command:
-
-book create large.pgn <m> [n] [wpct]
-
-The only thing you have to supply is <m>, a number indicat-
-ing how many moves from each game are to be stored in the
-book.bin database. I typically use 60, which stores the
-first 60 moves from each game. Increasing this number
-slightly increases the probability that Crafty will stay in
-book longer, but it also increases the probability that it
-will follow a game too far, so that it begins to reach posi-
-tions where the move actually played might not be the best
-move, letting it fall into a bad hole. Increasing this also
-increases the size of the database as well.
-
-You can decrease the size of the book, and also reduce the
-number of ugly moves by specifying <n>, which says that
-unless a move is played in at least N games, the move is
-discarded. This will substantially decrease the size of the
-book.bin file, and also eliminate single game moves that
-often have significant errors or blunders.
-
-You can increase the quality of book lines by specifying
-<wpct> which is the "winning percentage". This is specified
-as a percentage of lost games, and is used to discard moves
-that led to mostly losses. A safe value is 50, which says
-that if a particular opening move didn't win at least 50% as
-many games as it lost, the move is culled. A value of 100
-would mean that moves are culled if they produced more
-losses than wins, and is really a strict criterion.
-
-After creating book.bin, you need to create books.bin. This
-is a small version of book.bin, which is intended to give
-you more control over the moves/openings Crafty will play.
-This is usually built from the file start.pgn on the ftp
-machine, but you can modify this file to suit your taste
-easily. To build books.bin, you use the following command:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-books create start.pgn 60
-
-Again, 60 is what I use, but none of my start.pgn lines go
-anywhere near that many moves. The main point here is that
-in start.pgn, you can append a "!" to any move you want, and
-when it is Crafty's turn to move for that color, it will
-play from the set of moves with "!" if there are any, ignor-
-ing the rest of the book moves. If you only want it to play
-1. e4 as white, you would just enter the short game:
-
-[Crafty only plays 1. e4] 1. e4!
-
-and you are finished!. You can enter as many as you want.
-If on the other hand there is a move you don't want Crafty
-to play, then follow that move with a "?" and it will never
-play it. Moves in books.bin that are not flagged with ! or
-? don't have any influence on Crafty's choice at all.
-
-Here's how the files are used. When searching a position,
-Crafty first enumerates the set of moves it can find in the
-opening database. It then does the same for the books.bin
-database, and performs a "merge" operation to combine the ?
-and ! flags... The purpose of the books.bin file is to give
-you a small database that you can easily modify, rebuild,
-and repeat this process over and over. Since it takes a
-fraction of a second to completely rebuild this file, it is
-very easy to modify this to control what Crafty will play,
-without having to rebuild the large database.
-
-One important characteristic of the PGN input is the Result
-tag must be specified in most of the lines, because Crafty
-counts wins, losses and draws for each book move and uses
-these counts with some of the book selection options given
-below.
-
-How the flags are used.
-
-The ! and ? flags should only appear in the small books.bin
-file, although there is no reason why they can not appear in
-the large file as well. For this discussion, it doesn't
-matter since Crafty takes the moves from both files and
-"merges" the flags/etc into one entry for each move.
-
-Quite simply, if any book legal book move has a ! flag, then
-Crafty will only play moves from the set of moves which all
-have the ! flag. If a move has a ? flag, then that move is
-immediately removed from the set of possible book moves. If
-the only legal book move has a ? flag, it will not be played
-as a book move and Crafty will simply pretend that it found
-no book moves and will execute a normal tree search. Pretty
-simple.
-
-How to control the frequency of opening move selection.

-A new feature in version 15.15 and beyond allows you to
-append a PGN comment to any move in a text file used to cre-
-ate books.bin, of the form {play nn%}. This will force the
-move it follows to be played that percentage of the time,
-regardless of the normal book-ordering values based on fre-
-quency and so forth.
-
-Note that {play 0%} will not prevent a move from being
-played at all, as this will look just like a move with no
-percent specified. To avoid playing a move, use the ? flag.
-
-How does Crafty choose book moves?
-
-Crafty's book selection algorithm depends on two user-
-defined values that can be set at any time during a game:
-
-book random <n>
-
-book width <w>
-
-The selection algorithm first finds the set of legal book
-moves as above. This set will either be all ! moves, or
-will have no ! moves in it. This set is then sorted based
-on the setting of book random. Here's the options:
-
-book random 0. This is a special case for book selection.
-Crafty simply takes the set of book moves, and searches only
-these moves using a normal alpha/beta search, but with a
-shorter than usual time limit. It then plays the move that
-produces the best search value. This has one serious disad-
-vantage in that there is no randomness to this at all. It
-will always play the same move in the same position, unless
-the evaluation is modified, or the time per move is differ-
-ent enough to let the search find a different move from the
-book move set.
-
-book random 1. This enables a random form of book move
-selection, but you have a lot of control over how moves are
-randomly chosen. The moves are ordered, based on 4 parame-
-ters: frequency of play, win/lose ratio, static evaluation
-and learned results. Normally these are factored into the
-value used to sort the moves, based on default settings that
-you can modify by using the command "bookw option N"
-"option" should be "freq", "ratio", "eval" and "learn". N
-should be a number between 0 and 1.
-
-Crafty finds the min and max values for each of the 4 param-
-eters, and then maps this into the range 0-1000 for each
-parameter. Each parameter is multiplied by the correspond-
-ing "weight" you have assigned, and this is used as a value
-to sort the moves from low to high. Note that the first
-sort value is always the "play percent" to move them to the
-top of the list. For moves with equal "play percent"
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-values, the normal sort-value is used as the second-level
-sort variable (if no moves have a play-percent, then this
-second-level variable is the only one used, of course.)
-
-Once Crafty has sorted the moves as given above, it next
-excludes any book moves which have 0 wins. This culls the
-odd lines where a player chose a bad line and lost quickly.
-With zero wins, it will never be chosen, although Crafty
-will happily follow it from the other side. :) This is not
-anywhere near perfect, however, because an opening could
-have 1 win and 19 losses and that still would stay in the
-list.
-
-If a move has a learned value of > 100, this move is ele-
-vated in priority to that of a ! move, since it appears to
-win material instantly. If a value is < -100, it is given a
-? since it appears to be a lemon.
-
-After this, the setting for "book width <w>" is used to keep
-the first <w> moves in the list, after the above culling has
-been completed. The smaller you make <w> the less random-
-ness you get, but the chance of Crafty popping out a really
-bizarre book move gets smaller as well.
-
-After sorting, the final step is to fold in any mandatory
-"play percent" values. What this step does is that it finds
-all the moves in the "playable move set" just computed,
-which have no percent-to-play value set. It sums the sort-
-values for these moves, then adjusts the sort-values for the
-other moves so that their percentages will be honored.
-
-Once this has been done, crafty simply uses the "sort value"
-for each move to compute a total for all moves. It then
-generates a random number between 1 and this limit, and
-chooses the move that this probability distribution matches.
-This will certainly evolve over time as new ideas are devel-
-oped.
-
-For my play on ICC, I use book random 1, and book width 5
-normally, although for titled players this is reduced to
-book width 3. For computers, I reduce this further to 2, to
-try to play reasonable openings and cull the gambits and
-things that don't work out.
-
-How does book learning work and how can I share learned
-results?
-
-1. *all* of crafty's "learned knowledge" is in the book.bin
-file. It keeps the learned value and learned count right in
-the book file for speed. You can't modify it, although
-"show book" will make crafty display all the book stuff
-before it makes a move.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-2. the book.lrn file has two purposes: (a) to serve as a
-log for your prying eyes, so you can see what it's learned,
-against whom, and what the score was that got its attention
-in the first place. The values on the end of each book
-line, inside the {} characters are as follows:
- {value, depth, rating_difference} value is the value of
-the "key" search that comes from the first 10 moves out of
-book. it's in centipawns, and + is good - is bad. depth is
-the depth the search reached at this "key" position, the
-deeper the search, the more the value is "trusted." rat-
-ing_difference is crafty's rating - opponent's rating a neg-
-ative value means pay more attention to the score since the
-opponent is better than crafty, a positive value means to
-take the score with a grain of salt, because the opponent
-was weaker than Crafty.
-
-You can delete this file at any time, and it has no effect
-on learning. As I mentioned, the learning takes place in
-book.bin... this is mainly for you to peek at if you are
-interested. However, this is the "portable learning data
-file" also, and can be given to others to import into their
-crafty, where it will affect the opening book just like
-their crafty had played the openings and got the same
-scores. There are two ways to use such "lrn" files:
-
-1. "import <filename>" will read <filename> and import the
-knowledge therein into your book.bin. Since I use the same
-learning code as is used when playing games, this informa-
-tion also gets appended to *your* book.lrn file as well, so
-that your book.lrn always reflects *everything* your program
-has learned, so long as you don't ever remove this file. It
-would be a mistake to use this command on your own book.lrn
-file, because the things would get counted twice, which
-might or might not be a good thing.
-
-2. "import <filename> clear" will read <filename) and
-import the knowledge as above, but first clears *all*
-learned results from book.bin. you will want to do this if
-you import my book.lrn, *and*, you have contributed to my
-book.lrn data by sending me yours. I'll take care of elimi-
-nating duplicates if you screw up in what you send me, but
-once you send me something, you run the risk of getting it
-"back again" later. This is going to be a problem until
-everyone gets used to sharing something that is rather
-"vapid" like this "learned info" is...
-
-Other than that, we are now "open for business"... when the
-urge strikes you, email me your .lrn file, I'll keep a large
-master here and update it on occasion. Probably the best
-thing to do is to send me your .lrn and at the same
-*instant* delete yours. This will capture anything learned
-*after* you send me the file, but you'll get it all right
-back with the next version of book.lrn that I distribute.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-after getting this new book.lrn back, here's what you should
-do:
-
-1. rename your old book.lrn to something else. I'll call
-it "book.lrn.old" here.
-
-2. copy my blearn.dat to your machine, but *do not* put it
-in the directory with your book.bin and books.bin file
-because it will get confusing very quickly if you do. put
-it somewhere else, because you are going to remove it
-quickly anyway. I'll call it new.lrn for this example.
-
-3. import new.lrn clear
- import book.lrn.old
-
-and you are ready to rumble again. The first command clears
-the learned values, sucks in my new learn file and updates
-everything. the second command re-learns everything you've
-learned since you sent me the last book.lrn file. After
-doing this your book.lrn will have my .lrn stuff, plus your
-old.lrn stuff, just waiting to be sent to me again...
-
-If this is confusing, I can probably add an automatic com-
-mand to do all of this by renaming book.lrn, etc. Hopefully
-this is not too error-prone for the time being anyway...
-
-What is this new Position Learning I've heard about?
-
-Crafty now has a "permanent" hash table that is kept from
-game to game. A position gets into this "hash file" when
-Crafty executes a search and the search value is signifi-
-cantly lower than the last search value.
-
-When this happens, Crafty stores the current information for
-this position in the permanent hash file, which can hold up
-to 65536 positions. Once it fills up, the positions are
-replaced on a FIFO basic always keeping the most recent 64K
-entries.
-
-Each time crafty starts a search, the positions/scores from
-this file are stuffed into the normal transposition table,
-and used during the search just like any other table entry.
-Here's how it helps: In a game that was played, the follow-
-ing moves and scores were found by crafty (playing white):
-
-1. Ng5 (+.277) h6 2. Nh7 (+.321) Kg8 3. Qh5 (+.133)
-Qg7 4. Ng5 (-2.122) hxg5
-
-So, the knight got trapped at h7, and at move 4 crafty dis-
-covered that this is gross and "learns" this result/posi-
-tion.
-
-We play the exact same game again: except that two things
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-can happen here. It might be that Ng7 is the *only* square
-the knight can move to here, which means this whole thing is
-forced. the first search would find:
-
-1. Ng5 (-2.122) if the search can reach 8 plies deep, which
-happens even in 5 second games. It's learned that Ng5 is
-bad. It stores *this* position in the permanent hash file
-also, and the next time you try this same trap, it will dis-
-cover 4-5 moves earlier that if the knight gets to g5 it is
-in trouble. Each game will diverge from the first game 3-4
-moves earlier. Simple and effective.
-
-2. Ng5 might not be forced, and if not, it knows Ng5 loses
-a piece for a pawn, so it will promptly play something else,
-which is exactly what is desired.
-
-This is implemented with two (count 'em, two) files. One
-file "position.bin" is a binary file that contains the hash
-table entries, and it right at one megabyte in size, *max*.
-(16 bytes per hash entry X 65536 entries = exactly one meg,
-but I have 8 extra bytes for the FIFO queue implementation
-and to see how many entries are currently in the file if it
-is not full.
-
-The second file is "position.lrn" and is, you guessed it, a
-file that can be shared with others, just like book.lrn. It
-contains all information needed to reconstruct the position,
-the score, the depth, etc. and also included the pgn tags
-for who was what color and when the game was played...
-
-This data can be imported with the new "import" command (the
-old book learn <filename> is no longer around) which will
-import either book.lrn type data or position.lrn type data
-and can tell them apart without your having to do anything.
-The <clear> option is still there, should you want to use
-it, and simply removes the position.lrn and position.bin
-files before starting the import process for position learn-
-ing.
-
-This can be turned off, if you like, by checking out the
-"learn" command, which gives you the ability to turn off
-book learning (as it presently works), position learning,
-and the next book learning stage which will add to the book
-in addition to learning which book lines are good and bad.
-
-What is this new "result" learning?
-
-Result learning works just like normal book learning, except
-that if Crafty is checkmated or resigns, it will step back
-through the book line to find the last point where it had
-more than one move to choose from. It will flag the move it
-chose as "never play again".
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-This handles the case where the first ten non-book moves
-produce reasonable scores, but the position is one that
-Crafty simply can't handle very well. If it loses such a
-game, it will still vary the next time this opening is
-played, as otherwise it would possibly repeat the same open-
-ing, and would certainly repeat the remainder of the game.
-
-All three learning modes are turned on by default, although
-any of them can be disabled with the appropriate command
-option to "learn".

-XBoard and WinBoard are graphical user interfaces for chess.
-XBoard runs with the X Window System on Unix systems (including
-GNU/Linux); see topic
-<A HREF="#[B.1]">[B.1]</A>.
-WinBoard runs on true 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating
-systems, such as Windows 95, 98, NT,
-2000, ME, XP, and should continue to work
-on future 32-bit Windows systems. It does
-not work on Windows CE (also known as Pocket PC), nor does it work on
-16-bit Windows systems such as Windows 3.1. See topic

-
-<p>Our plans are always in flux. As with most free software projects,
-the next release will happen when it happens -- or it may never
-happen. This has always been the policy for XBoard/WinBoard.
-Releases have never been promised in specific time frames.
-
-<p>Starting in November 2003, several new developers have joined the
-project, and work is now hosted at <a
-href="https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/xboard/"
->https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/xboard/</a>. Lots of work is just
-getting underway, but nothing is far along yet.
-
-<p>Here is a partial list of items that have a nonzero probability of
-happening in finite time.
-
-<ul>
-<li>Small bug fixes. Occasionally someone sends us a fix, or reports
-a small bug very clearly so that we're able to fix it in a few minutes
-work.<p>
-
-<li>Protocol version 3. The members of the chess engine authors'
-mailing list discussed a set of proposed features for the next version
-of the XBoard/WinBoard chess engine communication protocol.
-Unfortunately, this project has gotten only as far as that discussion
-took it; no revisions of the protocol spec or coding have been done
-yet. A few simple features are very clearly needed, though, and will
-probably appear in time.<p>
-
-<li>Contributed features. Several people have mailed me code to add
-various features. Most of this code is available on the
-XBoard/WinBoard extensions page at <a
-href="http://www.tim-mann.org/extensions.html"
->http://www.tim-mann.org/extensions.html</a>, but it is not in any
-official releases yet. We are in the process of getting folks to
-formally assign the copyrights on their contributions to the Free
-Software Foundation so that we can include it in official releases in
-the future.<p>
-
-<li>Internationalization. Several people have expressed interest in
-internationalizing XBoard/WinBoard, and so hopefully this project will
-go forward. Once the internationalization support is in, we will need
-more translators. Watch for news on the xboard-devel mailing list on
-our Savannah pages.

-<H3><A NAME="[B.1]">[B.1] What is XBoard?</A></H3>
-
-XBoard is a graphical user interface for chess. It displays a
-chessboard on the screen, accepts moves made with the mouse, and loads
-and saves games in Portable Game Notation (PGN). XBoard is free software.
-It serves as a front-end for many different chess services, including:
-
-<p><strong>Chess engines</strong> that will run on your machine and
-play a game against you or help you analyze, such as GNU Chess and
-Crafty (topic <A HREF="#[D.3]">[D.3]</A> below).
-
-<p><strong>Chess servers</strong> 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.
-
-<p><strong>Correspondence chess</strong> played by electronic
-mail. The cmail program (topic <A HREF="#[B.6]">[B.6]</A> below)
-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.
-
-<p><strong>The Web</strong> and your own saved games. You can use
-XBoard as a helper application to view PGN games in your
-Web browser, or to load and save your own PGN files.
-
-<P>XBoard runs under Unix or Unix-compatible systems. It requires the
-X Window System, version X11R4 or later. There are also ports of
-XBoard to 32-bit Microsoft Windows and to
-the Amiga. See topics <A HREF="#[B.2]">[B.2]</A> and <A
-HREF="#[B.3]">[B.3]</A> respectively.
-
-<HR>
-<H3><A NAME="[B.2]">[B.2] Is there an XBoard for Microsoft Windows? What is WinBoard? How do I install WinBoard?</A></H3>
-
-WinBoard is a port of XBoard to 32-bit Microsoft Windows systems, such
-as Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, and XP. It uses the same back end
-chess code as XBoard, but the front end graphics code is a complete
-rewrite. WinBoard is free software.
-
-<P>The WinBoard distribution includes a port of GNU Chess to Win32.
-The GNU Chess port is distributed in executable form, with instructions for
-rebuilding it from the standard GNU Chess sources (available separately). You
-should have at least 16 to 24 MB of memory to run GNU Chess with WinBoard.
-
-<P>The WinBoard distribution also includes the ICC timestamp and FICS
-timeseal programs (topic <A HREF="#[B.12]">[B.12]</A>).
-
-<P>cmail (topic <A HREF="#[B.6]">[B.6]</A>) has not been ported to
-Windows. All the other XBoard functions are included in WinBoard.
-The International Email Chess Group web site at <a

-ECTool (<a href="http://www.ectool.nu/" >http://www.ectool.nu/</a>)
-for playing correspondence chess under Windows.
-
-<p>You install WinBoard as follows. Download the WinBoard package to
-your PC (see topic <A HREF="#[A.2]">[A.2]</A>). It will be a file

-Because MacOS X has a Unix base, XBoard will compile and run on it.
-You do need an X11 (X Window System) server and client libraries.
-These do not come with Mac OS, but both free and commercial versions
-are available. Once you install the X11 package, XBoard is reported

-
-<P>Next, decide what directory tree you are going to install XBoard

-
-The only way for two humans on different machines to play chess in
-real time using XBoard/WinBoard is to use an Internet Chess Server
-as an intermediary. That is, each player runs his own copy of XBoard
-or WinBoard, both of them log into an ICS, and they play a game there.
-Two copies of XBoard/WinBoard cannot communicate with each other
-directly.

-<P>Instructions on how to get started with Internet chess are included
-with the XBoard and WinBoard distributions. The network addresses
-included in the distribution may not always be current. The oldest
-and largest ICS is the Internet Chess Club at chessclub.com, which now
-has a fee for registered use, but still allows free unregistered use.
-There are also many newer sites with no fees, using the Free Internet
-Chess Server implementation (FICS). The most active FICS site is
-freechess.org. On these and most other chess servers,
-the port number to use is 5000.
-
-<P>If you don't have network connectivity to any ICS site, you

-You'll also find a "biography" of Zippy and pointers to the original
-Zippy the Pinhead comic strips on my Web page.
-Please read zippy.README carefully before you ask me any questions about Zippy.

-<p>Using a computer to choose your moves on a chess server is
-considered cheating unless your account is on the computer (C) list.
-Read "help computer" on your favorite server for details on their

-and tool set that supports Win32. In particular, older versions of
-DJGPP can build only 32-bit MSDOS programs; that is, programs that use
-a DOS extender to get a 32-bit address space and do not make any
-Windows calls. The latest versions of DJGPP are said to be able to
-build Win32 programs when used with the proper extension package(s),
-but this is not known to work with WinBoard. Use Cygwin instead.

-How can I use XBoard or WinBoard to talk
-to an Internet Chess Server through a firewall or proxy?
-</A></H3>
-
-<p>There is no single answer to this question, because there are many
-different kinds of firewalls in use. They work in various different
-ways and have various different security policies. This answer can
-only provide hints.
-
-<p>Note that you can't access Internet Chess Servers through a Web proxy,
-because they are not a Web service. You talk to them through a raw
-TCP connection, not an HTTP connection. If you can only access the
-Web through a proxy, there may be a firewall that stops you from
-making direct TCP connections, but there may also be a way through it.
-Read on for hints, and contact your local system administrator if you
-need more information about your local configuration.
-
-<p>A helpful user mailed me the following explanation of how to use
-WinBoard with WinGate:
-<blockquote>
-"I have managed to setup WinBoard though my WinGate proxy. I have the
-Office version. What I needed to do was to setup the TCP/IP
-connection to add the User/Host name and my provider service name for
-the DNS, but I had to leave the HOST IP address blank. I have not
-played with all the variations, so it may be just that I have the DNS
-lookup enabled."
-</blockquote>
-I hope this helps, though I don't find it very clear. I don't have
-a copy of WinGate myself and can't help if you have questions about it.
-
-<p>If you are using some other non-SOCKS firewall, read the FIREWALLS section
-in your XBoard or WinBoard documentation (man page, info document, or
-Help file). If you can telnet to a chess server in some way, then you
-can almost certainly connect to it with xboard/WinBoard, though in
-some cases you may not be able to run timestamp or timeseal. The
-timestamp and timeseal protocols require a clean, 8-bit wide TCP
-connection from your machine to the ICS, which some firewalls do not
-provide.
-
-<p>If you have a SOCKS firewall and are using <strong>XBoard</strong>,
-you should be able to SOCKSify xboard and use it. See <a
-href="http://www.socks.nec.com/">http://www.socks.nec.com/</a> for
-information about SOCKS and socksification. However, if you do this,
-you can't use timestamp or timeseal; what you really need is a
-socksified version of timestamp or timeseal. This is hard because the
-source code for timestamp and timeseal is proprietary; the folks
-running the chess servers don't give it out because that would make it
-too easy to cheat. On some versions of Unix, you may be able to
-socksify a program that you don't have the source code to by running
-it with an appropriate dynamic library; see <a
-href="http://www.socks.nec.com/">http://www.socks.nec.com/</a>. For
-others, you might be able to get a pre-built socksified version from
-the chess server administrators. For timeseal versions, see <a
-href="ftp://ftp.freechess.org/pub/chess/timeseal/"
->ftp://ftp.freechess.org/pub/chess/timeseal/</a>. For timestamp
-versions, the directory would be <a
-href="ftp://ftp.chessclub.com/pub/icc/timestamp/"
->ftp://ftp.chessclub.com/pub/icc/timestamp/</a>, but at this writing
-there don't seem to be any socksified timestamps there. Once you have
-a socksified timestamp or timeseal, simply run it with a normal,
-non-socksified xboard in place of the standard timestamp or timeseal.
-
-<p>If you have a SOCKS firewall and you are using
-<strong>WinBoard</strong>, we now know how to make this configuration
-work, complete with timestamp or timeseal!
-
-<p>Start by getting SocksCap32. This software is freely available
-from <a href="http://www.socks.nec.com/">http://www.socks.nec.com/</a>.
-Install it on your machine, read the documentation, and learn to use
-it. You may find it useful with many other programs besides WinBoard.
-
-<p>Next, <strong>don't</strong> socksify WinBoard. Socksifying
-WinBoard itself doesn't let you use it with timestamp or timeseal.
-For some reason I don't understand -- something strange that
-SocksCap32 does -- the socksified WinBoard runs but does nothing, and
-timestamp/timeseal runs all by itself in its own window.
-
-<p>Instead, use the following workaround. Follow the instructions
-exactly; don't try to skip steps or simplify things.
-
-<p>First, make SocksCap32 application profiles for timestamp and
-timeseal. Use the following command lines in the SocksCap32
-profiles. Name the first profile "timestamp" and the second
-"timeseal".
-
-<p><pre>
- "c:\program files\winboard\timestamp.exe" chessclub.com 5000 -p 5000
- "c:\program files\winboard\timeseal.exe" freechess.org 5000 -p 5000
-</pre>
-
-<p>Second, run timestamp or timeseal by itself, socksified, using its
-profile. This will open an unneeded, black window that will not
-respond to typing. Minimize it to the task bar and ignore it. It will
-go away when you exit from WinBoard.
-
-<p>Next, run WinBoard using the following command line. Make a shortcut
-or type this command into an MS-DOS Prompt box. Don't run WinBoard
-itself socksified, just run it directly.
-
-<p><pre>
- "c:\program files\winboard.exe" /ics /icshost=localhost /icsport=5000
-</pre>
-
-<p>After you get this working, you can try getting the timestamp window to
-auto-minimize by starting it from a shortcut instead of from the
-SocksCap32 control window. As it says in the SocksCap32 help file, put
-the following in the Target field of a shortcut's Properties page:
-
-<p><pre>
- "c:\program files\sockscap32\sc32.exe" timestamp
-</pre>
-
-Then select "Run: Minimized" on the same page. Do the same for timeseal.
-
-<p>Another method that can work is to use a .bat file to start both
-timestamp and WinBoard. It would look something like this:
-
-<p><pre>
- REM --
- REM -- icc.bat
- REM -- Start timestamp under SocksCap32 and use WinBoard to connect to it.
- REM -- The string "timestamp" refers to a SocksCap32 profile for timestamp.
- REM -- Do not change it to the filename of the timestamp program!
- REM --
- start /minimized "c:\program files\sockscap32\sc32.exe" timestamp
- cd "c:\program files\winboard"
- winboard /ics /icshost=localhost /icsport=5000
-</pre>
-
-<p>This workaround has a problem if you want to run two copies of
-WinBoard at once, talking to the same chess server twice (for
-bughouse) or to two different chess servers. If you need to do that,
-you will need to run a separate copy of timestamp with <i>a different
-port number</i> for each connection. You'll need to make a second set of
-profile entries with a different value after the -p flag (say, 5001)
-and you'll need to change the WinBoard command line /icsport=5000 for
-the second WinBoard to match.

- Can I get Zippy to do one or more ICS commands automatically at the
- start or end of each game?</a></h3>
-
-<p>By default, Zippy automatically sends the command "gameend" to ICS
-at the end of each game. You can alias this command (using the ICS
-"alias" feature) to anything you want. On ICC, you can use the
-"multi" feature to alias gameend to several commands, but other
-servers don't have that feature. Zippy doesn't send anything at the
-start of the game by default.
-
-<p>You can get Zippy to send one or more commands of your choosing, at
-the start and/or end of each game, by using the -zippyGameStart and
--zippyGameEnd command line options, newly added in version 4.0.3.
-Both xboard and WinBoard have (somewhat obscure) ways of getting
-newlines into this option to send several commands. Here is an
-example of one way to do it for each.
-
-<p><pre>
- xboard -ics -zp -xrm '*zippyGameStart: say hi\nsay prepare to die\n'

-standard Windows application Paintbrush, select Paste, and print from there.
-If you want to print a list of moves, save your game as a PGN file,
-then open the PGN file with Notepad or any other plain text editor and
-print it from there.

- Can I get Zippy to automatically reconnect to ICS when its connection
- breaks?</a></h3>
-
-<p>There isn't a perfect solution to this problem yet, but a pretty
-good one is to write a shell script (for xboard) or .bat script (for
-WinBoard) that automatically restarts the program whenever it exits.
-Use the -xexit flag so that you don't get a popup dialog that must be
-dismissed with the OK button before the program will exit. The gap in
-this solution is that your connection to ICS can sometimes get into a
-state where the program does not notice that the connection is broken
-until the next time it tries to send a command. Perhaps some future
-version of xboard/WinBoard will have an option to send a harmless
-command every five minutes or so.
-
-<p>Anyway, here is a sample Windows .bat file that restarts WinBoard each
-time it exits. Thanks to Jason Williamson. It assumes that you have put
-your computer account's name and password in a file named logon.ini.
-
-<pre>
-REM --
-REM -- wbrecon.bat
-REM -- Start WinBoard in Zippy mode, and restart it each time it exits.
-REM -- Add or change parameters as needed for your application.
-REM --
-:loop
-start /w winboard /zp /ics /icslogon logon.ini /xexit /xautoraise
-REM -- The next line is to have a short delay setup for 139 seconds.
-REM -- Leave it out if it doesn't work on the version of Windows you use.
-TYPE NUL | CHOICE.COM /N /CY /TY,99 >NUL

-
-<p>Here is a Unix shell script to do the same thing for xboard.
-It's a bit more elaborate. It is based on the script I use for the
-original Zippy. It logs all ICS output to a file named zippy.out,
-and it lets you type commands to Zippy by running "cat > zippy.fifo".

- The chess engines are too strong and always beat me. How can I adjust
- the difficulty level to make them weaker?</a></h3>
-
-<p>The simplest way to get that effect is to make sure the
-XBoard/WinBoard Auto Flag option is off, set a very fast time control
-so that the chess engine can't think for long, but take as much time
-over your own moves as you want. Also feel free to use Retract Move if
-you make a blunder.
-
-<p>Many chess coaches will let you switch sides after
-they get a stronger position so that you can get experience playing
-positions where you are winning. You can try this with XBoard/WinBoard
-by using the Machine White or Machine Black menu command to make the
-machine take over your position.
-
-<p>The -depth command-line option to XBoard/WinBoard can also be used to
-weaken the engine (see the man page or Help file). It's a bit of a
-nuisance to set command line options in Windows, but see topic <A

-the assumption that there is no netlag. When his move comes in, if
-there was netlag, the ICS may not have really charged him for that
-much time, and WinBoard corrects the clock to what the ICS says it
-should read.
-
-<p>If you are not using timestamp or timeseal, you may appear to lose
-time off your clock at some point after you make your move. In this
-case, the ICS charges you for the time between when it sent you your
-opponent's move and the time it received your move. Thus delays in
-network transmission count against you. WinBoard stops counting down
-the display of your clock on your screen (and starts your opponent's)
-when you make your move. When the ICS echoes your move back to you, it
-may have charged you for more time than that, and WinBoard corrects
-the clocks to what the ICS says they should read.
-
-<p>See "help lag" and "help timestamp" or "help timeseal" on your ICS for
-more detailed information.

-Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or 4 have reported it. I have no

-I get errors compiling XBoard's parser.c.
-</a></h3>
-
-<p>The file parser.c is automatically generated from parser.l. The
-copy included with XBoard 4.0.2 was generated by lex on Tru64 Unix and
-has problems compiling and linking on current GNU/Linux versions. The
-copy included with XBoard 4.0.3 was generated by flex on a GNU/Linux
-machine, but it too won't necessarily work on other versions of Unix.
-If you have this problem, you can fix it by deleting parser.c and
-letting the Makefile re-create it from parser.l. This will work if
-you have either lex or flex on your system. Flex is available in all
-GNU/Linux distributions and can be obtained at no charge from the Free
-Software Foundation, www.fsf.org.

-I get an error building WinBoard from source because "flex" is not found.
-</a></h3>
-
-<p>The file parser.c is automatically generated from parser.l. The
-Makefile included with the WinBoard source kit has a rule for
-generating parser.c using the program "flex", which will fail if you
-don't have flex. However, the source kit also includes a ready-made
-copy of parser.c, so you don't really need flex unless you have made
-changes to parser.l. Check that you still have a copy of parser.c; if
-you don't, unpack the WinBoard source zip file again to get one.
-Either set the last-modified time of parser.c to be later than that of
-parser.l, delete parser.l, or comment out the Makefile rule for
-building parser.c from parser.l, and then try building WinBoard again.
-
-<p>If you do want to change parser.l and rebuild parser.c, you can get
-flex as part of the free Cygwin kit from
-<a href="http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/"
->http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/</a>. You can
-probably also get flex for Windows by itself from various other places

- XBoard hangs shortly after connecting to an ICS when used with dxterm,
- cmdtool, dtterm, kterm, konsole, or other substitutes for xterm.
-</a></h3>
-
-<p>After connecting to a chess server, XBoard 4.0.2 and later sends an
-escape sequence to its terminal that is meant to display your handle
-and the ICS host name (for example, "user@chessclub.com") in the
-terminal's banner and icon. It seems that several of the alternative
-X terminal programs have a bug that makes them hang when sent this
-escape sequence.
-
-<p>You can work
-around the problem by using xterm, nxterm, rxvt, aterm, xiterm, or
-gnome-terminal, all of which seem to work fine. In fact, current
-versions of kterm and konsole seem to work fine too, so if you are
-having problems with one of them, be sure you are not running an
-outdated version.

- The WinBoard pieces show up in the wrong colors, appear distorted,

-
-<p>This can happen if you have a bug in your Windows display driver.
-Check with the manufacturer of your display card, the manufacturer of
-your computer, or Microsoft to see if there is an updated driver
-available. You can usually download updated drivers from the Web.
-
-<p>If you can't find an updated driver, you can try running Windows
-using a different number of colors and/or disabling some of the
-hardware acceleration features on your display card. To change the
-number of colors, go to Windows Start / Settings / Control Panel /
-Display / Settings / Color Palette. To disable hardware acceleration
-features, go to Windows Start / Settings / Control Panel / Display /
-Settings / Advanced Properties / Performance / Hardware Acceleration.
-
-<p>It's also possible that Windows has the right driver for your
-hardware already but you are not using it. It may help to reinstall
-your driver. Go to Windows Start / Settings / Control Panel / System
-and delete your display card (maybe even your monitor too), then
-reboot. Windows should automatically re-detect your card and monitor
-and re-install the drivers; if it doesn't, run Start / Settings /
-Control Panel / Add New Hardware to force it to.
-
-<p>If all else fails, try Monochrome mode. On WinBoard's menus, go

-<p>This message means that your chess engine crashed, probably due to
-a bug in the engine, or because you have it configured incorrectly.
-You can try running XBoard or WinBoard again with the "-debug" flag on
-the command line. This will print out all the messages received from
-the chess engine. (With WinBoard, the messages go into a file called
-WinBoard.debug; with XBoard, they go to the xterm that you started
-XBoard from.)
-
-<P>If you are using GNU Chess and you see this problem as soon as it
-starts up, most likely GNU Chess is exiting with an error message. If
-you see the message "NO LANGFILE", it means that you did not install
-GNU Chess correctly, and it is unable to find the file gnuchess.lang.
-Make sure that you defined LIBDIR in the gnuchess Makefile, and that
-gnuchess.lang is in that directory. If gnuchess.lang is not there,
-you probably didn't type "make install" in the gnuchess src directory;
-you must do this to install gnuchess.lang (and the gnuchess book). If
-you defined LIBDIR to something that is not an absolute pathname (that

- XBoard tells me "Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry", or

-</a></h3>
-
-<p>You are running your X server with 8-bit color depth, and you are running
-some program that has used up all 256 of your colors. Netscape tends
-to do this, or maybe you have a background image that uses up all of
-your colors.
-
-<p>If you have a modern machine, you probably have enough display
-memory to run your X server with 16-, 24-, or 32-bit color depth. If
-you're using "startx" to start the X server, try giving the command as
-"<tt>startx -- -bpp 24</tt>" (or 16, or 32). On newer X servers you
-may have to use -depth instead of -bpp. Further details on
-configuring your X server are beyond the scope of this FAQ.
-
-<p>If you must run in 8-bit mode, try the following:
-Avoid background images that use up all your colors. If you
-run Netscape, try starting it up with the <tt>-install</tt> command-line
-option; this gives Netscape its own private colormap that X will
-switch to when Netscape has the keyboard focus.
-
-<P>If all else fails, another possibility is to run xboard in
-monochrome (black and white) mode by giving it the <tt>-mono</tt>
-command-line option. XBoard will try this by itself in some cases.
-Monochrome mode works only with bitmap pieces, not pixmap pieces, so
-trying to use it may give you the error "XPM pieces cannot be used in
-monochrome mode". To get around this, either use the -bitmapDirectory
-command line option to point XBoard to the directory containing the

-** Announcing the release of XBoard and WinBoard, version 4.2.7 **
-
-XBoard is a graphical chessboard for the X Window System that can
-serve as a user interface for GNU Chess, Crafty, and other chess
-engines, for the Internet Chess Servers, and for electronic mail
-correspondence chess. XBoard can also be used by itself. It can read
-and write game files in PGN (portable game notation).
-
-WinBoard is a similar program for 32-bit Microsoft Windows. It
-includes all the major features of XBoard except email correspondence
-chess.
-
-A new release of both XBoard and WinBoard is now available. Version
-4.2.7 corrects about two dozen bugs in the 4.2.6 release. See the
-ChangeLog for a list. In addition, WinBoard 4.2.7 comes bundled with
-GNU Chess 5.07 instead of the old 5.02+ version. The XBoard and
-WinBoard source code trees have been merged, so the xboard download
-now contains the complete source for both.
-
-The various larger contributions that people have submitted since the
-4.2.6 release are not yet included in 4.2.7. The source code for
-these contributions is now available, however (see
-http://www.tim-mann.org/extensions.html), and we plan to include most
-of them in a future release once the contributors complete necessary
-copyright assignment paperwork.
-
-You can get both XBoard and WinBoard from either our new Savannah
-project pages or their existing pages on Tim Mann's web site:
-
-- https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/xboard/
-- http://www.tim-mann.org/chess.html
-
-Most of the known bugs and deficiencies in previous versions have
-*not* been addressed in this release. It is not necessary to report
-your favorite bug again if you have reported it before, unless the
-ChangeLog erroneously says it has been fixed. Most known bugs,
-deficiencies, and suggestions received are now listed in the ToDo
-file. If you find a bug not listed there, please report it in the bug
-tracker at https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/xboard/ or by email to
-bug-xboard [AT] tim-mann.org.
+++ /dev/null
-WinBoard is a graphical chessboard for 32-bit Microsoft
-Windows systems. It can serve as a user interface for
-GNU Chess or for internet chess servers, or it can be
-used to play out games manually or from game files.
-For full details, see the Help file (WinBoard.hlp).
-For answers for frequently asked questions, see the FAQ
-file (FAQ.html).

-HISTORY
-
-WinBoard is a port of the Unix program XBoard to Win32,
-the 32-bit Microsoft Windows API. The graphical front
-end (WinBoard.c, etc.) is all new, but the back end
-that understands chess rules, chess notation, GNU
-Chess, the ICS, etc., is shared with XBoard. See
-WinBoard.hlp for a list of contributors to WinBoard and

-INTRODUCTION
-
-Welcome to the GNU CHESS 5 README. This is somewhat different than
-a normal readme. You might consider this a manual. We've always found
-multiple documents confusing, overlapping and sometimes contradictory
-as far as software documentation goes. By putting it all together in
-one place we hope to avoid these traditional inadequacies and be able
-to maintain a single document. If you add documentation, add it to
-this document only.
-
-GNU Chess 5 is the new version of GNU Chess. The goal of creating this
-new version was to eliminate perceived problems with past versions, the
-major one being spaghetti-code that was extremely poorly documented, but
-another being antiquated data structures and especially the ignominous
-linked list. Another good reason was to have more standard file formats
-for game positions and game listings.
-
-
-WHO WE ARE
-
-We are the GNU Chess developers and you may reach us at
-
- bug-gnu-chess@gnu.org
-
-We are indebted to our sponsor, the Free Software Foundation
-whose web page is:
-
- http://www.gnu.org
-
-and which also serves as our software depository for new versions of
-GNU and GNU Chess.
-
-We also have a Usenet bulletin board, gnu.chess. Feel free to post and
-support. Please become a developer and contribute your time and coding skill
-to GNU Chess. Make a donation of your time and money.
-
-But, as developers we like to develop our own ideas. Thus, if you have
-an idea check to see that no one else is working on it (posting on the
-above bulletin board or sending an email should be sufficient to find
-if someone is working on the idea and if you can collaborate with
-them.)
-
-We don't like messages asking us to implement features. Everybody
-has a list a mile long. Instead, contribute by writing code or pointing
-out very clearly a bug. To report a bug, tell us the version number
-of the program ("./gnuchess --version").
-
-The code is provided for the purpose of encouraging you to do the
-programming. If you lack the programming skills to do so, try
-dabbling in it. You might surprise yourself.
-
-
-DATA STRUCTURES
-
-The primary data structure of GNU Chess is the bitboard. A bitboard
-is a 64-bit GNU C long long. It represents characteristics of a position.
-For example, 12 bitboards are sufficient to describe the whereabouts
-of all the pieces for both sides, i.e.
-
- BitBoard board.b[2][6];
-
-So for example with a knight equal to 2 and white equal to 0 all the
-knights are located by the reference
-
- #define white 0
- #define knight 2
-
- ... board.b[white][knight] ...
-
-Testing whether a particular square has a knight on it could be done
-with
-
- if (BitBoard[B1] & board.b[white][knight]) { ... }
-
-Another set of move arrays is helpful for calculating the simple moves
-of a knight or a king
-
- MoveArray[knight or king][sq]
-
-This returns a bitmap of the squares from which a knight or king
-could move from the square sq. Squares are based at 0 for a1 (White's
-queen's rook 1) and numbered left to right up until 63 for h8 (Black's
-king's rook 1).
-
-Another basic data structure is the board. It is defined in common.h
-as the Board typedef:
-
- typedef struct
- {
- BitBoard b[2][7]; /* Pieces by side (0 - white, 1 black
- by piece (1 - pawn ... 6 - king */
- BitBoard friend[2]; /* Friendly (this side's) pieces */
- BitBoard blocker; /* Enemy pieces */
- BitBoard blockerr90;
- BitBoard blockerr45;
- BitBoard blockerr315;
- short ep; /* Location of en passant square */
- short flag; /* Relevant flags relating to castle privs */
- short side; /* Color of side on move 0 - white 1 - black */
- short material[2]; /* Total material by side not inc. king */
- short pmaterial[2]; /* Total pawn material by side not inc. king */
- short castled[2]; /* True (1) if side is castled */
- short king[2]; /* Location of king 0 - a1 .. 63 - h8 */
- } Board;
-
-Basic data structure typedefs are defined in common.h and allocated in
-main.c for the most part. Please read and understand those files. The
-best way to understand data structures is to add new evaluation terms.
-
-MOVE GENERATOR
-
-This is a rotated bit-board method which is considered state-of-the-art
-currently.
-
-SEARCH
-
-Based on Professor Tony Marsland's modification to alpha-beta minimax,
-called Principal Variation Search (PVS), this algorithm performs credibly.
-
-EVALUATION
-
-Evaluation in this version is quite a bit different than before.
-Earlier versions used piece/square tables with some end-leaf
-evaluation (but primary pc/sq tables). These are tables filled with
-values regarding the importance of having pieces on particular squares.
-It was filled once, at the beginning of the search.
-
-The drawback of pc/sq tables is that the information is typically of
-less and less importance the deeper a program searches because the
-board changes so much. With computers getting faster and faster, deeper
-and deeper searches are possible and so the pc/sq tables can provide
-misleading direction to the program, resulting in anti-positional moves.
-
-More recently there has been a return by some to what we espouse here:
-full end-leaf evaluation. Further, we use bitboards (64-bit quantities)
-to represents characteristics of the board. This harkens back, ironically
-to the early days of computer chess when giant number-crunching machines
-back in the 60's used bitmaps to describe positions.
-
-Bitboards in this version of GNU are defined using the "BitBoard" typedef
-defined in common.h. main.c contains most of the bitboards and these
-are accessed and used throughout the program and particularly by
-the move generator and the evaluator.
-
-The evaluator in eval.c consists of a series of scoring routines like
-ScoreP (), ScoreN (), ScoreB (), corresponding to the piece being
-scored. The routine evaluates all pieces of that type (P - pawn,
-N - knight, B - bishop, etc.) on the current board and returns a
-score.
-
-Typically a loop is used of the form
-
- short sq; /* Location of the piece of this type */
- short s; /* Score value for all pieces
- BitBoard b; /* Stores the bitboard representing location of the piece */
- s = 0; /* Score starts out as zero */
- b = board.b[side][knight];
- while (b) {
- sq = leadz(b);
- CLEARBIT (b, sq);
- if (piece on sq has some property)
- s += SOME_BONUS_OR_PENALTY; /* defined in eval.h */
- }
- return(s);
-
-As you can see, this routine locates each piece in the 64-bit map
-where the corresponding square of the 64 is set to 1 meaning a piece
-is there. Hence for example in the opening position, board.b[white][bishop]
-would have the 3rd and 7th low-order bits set corresponding to the original
-locations of bishops in a game on C1 and F1. Likewise the values
-BitPosArray[C1] and BitPosArray[F1] can be used to return 64-bit
-quantities for checking specific matches as in
-
- if (BitPosArray[A1] & board.b[side][bishop])
- s += SOME_VERY_NEGATIVE_PENALTY_FOR_BISHOP_IN_A1_CORNER
-
-Writing evaluation code comes very naturally using these methods. Try
-to avoid too many specific square checks as those are expensive. Ideas
-as shown in the CTL() routine can be used to check for piece placement
-on specific squares being advantageous or disadvantageous.
-
-Primary evaluation is done with Evaluate(). Certain specifics are
-calculated which are deemed very important such as king evaluation
-and pawn evaluation. Then a "lazy evaluation" scenario is checked
-for which can save time. Otherwise other pieces are also evaluated.
-
-Very important for evaluation is the ability to see what board you
-are evaluating. Typically this should be sufficient when you add
-the new term:
-
- /* ... new logic ... */
- {
- s += SOME_NEW_BONUS (define in eval.h)
- printf("The condition is triggered:\n");
- ShowBoard ();
- getchar();
- }
-
-This lets you see the board at the point the condition is triggered
-which adds the bonus or penalty to the evaluation score.
-
-
-BOOK
-
-The opening book is implemented as a simple binary file consisting of
-a set of sequential records of struct hashtype as defined in the module
-book.c. This data structure is simply two part, a 64-bit HashType (see
-common.h) and a 32-bit score.
-
-The binary book stored in book.dat is compiled from the file book.pgn
-using the command "book add book.pgn" into a sequential set of binary
-records in the format as described above. book.pgn is simply a set of
-game records in portable game notation format. A set of master games
-may be used or specific openings programmed this way for a user-changeable
-opening book.
-
-HASH TABLE
-
-The hash table is simply an area of memory where information about
-positions is stored. In this version of the program there are two
-types of hash tables: general and pawn.
-
-The general hash table size is controlled by the variable HASHSLOTS
-as defined in common.h. Likewise the pawn hash table size is controlled
-by the variable PAWNSLOTS in common.h.
-
-The number of hashtable slots can be controlled from the command
-line (Type "gnuchess -help" for details), or via the interactive
-hashsize command.
-
-Typically middle-game searches are sped up by 25%-50% by the general
-hash table and by much more in endgames where there are few pieces
-(because so many of the positions turn out to be cached already in
-the hash table.)
-
-Pawn evaluation is traditionally expensive because there are so many
-things to evaluate. The pawn hash table remembers all the different
-pawn structures in the search. Typically pawn structure evaluation
-(without reference to pieces) may be calculated by simple table
-lookup this way 90-99% of the time. Hence, any amount of pawn logic
-that is pure-pawn and not related to pieces may be added without guilt.
-On the other hand, pawn structure that relates to pieces must be
-recalculated for every position. See ScoreP() in eval.c
-
-
-AUXILLARY FILE FORMATS
-
-.dat - binary book format, simply a 64-bit position hash and a 32-bit score
-.pgn - game listing like 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 etc.
-.epd - epd-style format using FEN notation. See tests subdirectory for example.
-log.nnn - record of an entire game from computer's viewpoint (thinking, etc.)
-game.nnn - record of an entire game, similar to .pgn but auto-generated
-
-The .dat file format is a simple binary format for the compiled book
-which is read by the program when it is using book. See the section BOOK
-for more detail.
-
-EPD and PGN require little introduction. These are the uniformly accepted
-standards for position recording and game recording.
-
-Note that log.nnn and game.nnn files are written at the end of a game
-when you use the "name" command to give the computer your name. It is
-highly recommended to do this since the resulting two files that match
-in a monotonically-increasing extension numbered suffix may be used for
-reporting bugs and keeping track of your games.
-
-
-COMPILERS
-
- We like GNU C in all its various forms. For Unix and Linux, use GNU C.
-
- For Microsoft Windows platforms we compile and test using Cygwin,
- which is a port of many GNU packages, including GCC.
-
- Cygwin may require specific run time DLL's to provide the interface,
- these should be provided with any executable you receive.
-
- Whilst GCC is the supported compiler, a key goal is portability. If
- you experience problems compiling GNU Chess with a modern C compiler
- please let the developers know.
-
-INTERNET
-
- GNU CHESS 5 has been tested substantially on the Free Internet Chess
- Servers (freechess.org) with Xboard (See Zippy documentation in the
- Xboard/Winboard distribution http://www.tim-mann.org/).
-
- GNU Chess 5.06 and later should also operate with icsDrone. Testing
- 5.06 with icsDrone 1.5.0 showed no immediate issues.
-
-XBOARD/WINBOARD
-
- Running the program with the "--xboard" command line parameter sets it
- to produce output acceptable to and accept input suitable for xboard
- and winboard, the graphical display front-ends with mouse interface.
-
- For historical reasons the option "xboard" does not need to be
- preceeded by "--", however we would encourage the new syntax.

-
-DESCRIPTION
- Gnuchess plays a game of chess against the user or it plays against
- itself.
-
- Gnuchess is an updated version of the GNU chess playing program. It
- has a simple alpha-numeric board display, an IBM PC compatible inter-
- face, or it can be compiled for use with the chesstool program on a SUN
- workstation or with the xboard program under X-windows. To invoke the
- program type:
-
- gnuchess
- - simple curses based version
-
- gnuchessn
- - fancy version using curses and inverse video on UNIX, or IBM
- PC cursor controls and characters on MSDOS
-
- gnuchessr
- - ASCII based version
-
- gnuchessc
- - chesstool compatible version
-
- gnuchessx
- - xboard compatible version
-
-TIME CONTROLS
- If one argument is given, it is the search time per move in [min-
- utes:]seconds. So gnuchess 30 will generate one move every 30 seconds,
- while gnuchess 5:00 will generate one move every 5 minutes.
-
- If two or more arguments are given, they will be used to set tournament
- time controls with the first argument of each pair being the number of
- moves and the second being the total clock time in minutes[:seconds].
- Thus, entering gnuchess 60 5 will set the clocks for 5 minutes (300
- seconds) for the first 60 moves, and gnuchess 30 3:30 will allow 3 min-
- utes and 30 seconds for 30 moves.
-
- gnuchess 30 5 1 :30 will allow 5 minutes for the first 30 moves and 30
- seconds for each move after that. Up to 4 pairs of controls may be
- specified.
-
- If no argument is given the program will prompt the user for level of
- play.
-
- For use with chesstool or xboard, see the documentation on those pro-
- grams.
-
-BOOK
- At startup Gnuchess reads the binbook file if it is present. It then
- looks for a book file. If it is present it adds its contents to the
- binbook data. If the binbook file is writable a new combined binbook
- file is written.
-
- The book gnuchess.book consists of a sequence of openings. An opening
- begins with a line starting with a ! , the rest of the line is com-
- ments. Following this is a series of moves in algebraic notation
- alternating white and black separated by white space. A move may have a
- ? after it indicating this move should never be made in this position.
- Moves are stored as position:move so transpositions between openings
- can take place.
-
-HASHFILE
- The hashfile if created should be on the order of 4 megabytes or
- gnuchess -c 22. This file contains positions and moves learned from
- previous games. If a hashfile is used the computer makes use of the
- experience it gained in past games. Tests run so far show that it plays
- no worse with the hashfile than without, but it is not clear yet
- whether it provides a real advantage.
-
-LEGAL MOVES
- Note: Piece letters and legal castling notation is determined by the
- language file. What is specified here is the default English.
-
- Once gnuchess is invoked, the program will display the board and prompt
- the user for a move. To enter a move, use the notation e2e4 where the
- first letter-number pair indicates the origination square and the sec-
- ond letter-number pair indicates the destination square. An alterna-
- tive is to use the notation nf3 where the first letter indicates the
- piece type (p,n,b,r,q,k). To castle, type the origin and destination
- squares of the king just as you would do for a regular move, or type o-

-COMMANDS
- In addition to legal moves, the following commands are available as
- responses. Note: command names are determined by the language file and
- may vary with the implementation. This is default English.
-
- alg -- allow algebraic input (not implemented)
-
- Awindow -- change Alpha window (default score + 90)
-
- Bwindow -- change Beta window (default score - 90)
-
- beep -- causes the program to beep after each move.
-
- bd -- updates the current board position on the display.
-
- bk -- Print out all moves for this position from the book as: move
- response value
-
- book -- turns off use of the opening library.
-
- both -- causes the computer to play both sides of a chess game.
-
- black -- causes the computer to take the black pieces. If the computer
- is to move first the go command must be given.
-
- eco -- Print out opening information for this game - lists ECO # and
- variations
-
- coords -- show coordinates on the display (visual only)
-
- contempt -- allows the value of contempt to be modified.
-
- debug -- asks for a piece as color piece, as wb or bn, and shows its
- calculated value on each square.
-
- debuglevel -- sets level of debugging output if compiled with debug
- options.
-
- depth -- allows the user to change the search depth of the program.
- The maximum depth is 29 ply. Normally the depth is set to 29 and the
- computer terminates its search based on elapsed time rather than depth.
- If depth is set to (say) 4 ply, the program will search until all moves
- have been examined to a depth of 4 ply (with extensions up to 11 addi-
- tional ply for sequences of checks and captures). If you set a maximum
- time per move and also use the depth command, the search will stop at
- the specified time or the specified depth, whichever comes first.
-
- easy -- toggles easy mode (thinking on opponents time) on and off. The
- default is easy mode ON. If easy mode is disabled, the keyboard is
- polled for input every so often and when input is seen the search is
- terminated. It may also be terminated with a sigint.
-
- edit -- allows the user to set up a board position.
-
- # - command will clear the board.
-
- c - toggle piece color.
-
- . - command will exit setup mode.
-
- pb3 - place a pawn on b3
-
- Pieces are entered by typing a letter (p,n,b,r,q,k) for the piece fol-
- lowed by the coordinate.
-
- The usual warning about the language file applies.
-
- exit -- exits gnuchess.
-
- first -- tells the computer to move first. Computer begins searching
- for a move. (same as "go").
-
- force -- allows the user to enter moves for both sides. To get the pro-
- gram to play after a sequence of moves has been entered use the 'white'
- or 'black' command followed by 'go'.
-
- gamein -- toggles game mode time control. Assumes the time specified
- for time control is the time for a complete game. Input with the level
- command should be the game time and the expected number of moves in a
- game.
-
- get -- retrieves a game from disk. The program will prompt the user
- for a file name.
-
- go -- tells the computer to move first. Computer begins searching for a
- move. (same as "first").
-
- hash -- use/don't use hashfile.
-
- hard -- think on opponents time
-
- hashdepth -- allows the user to change the minimum depth for using the
- hashfile and the number of moves from the begining of the game to use
- it.
-
- help -- displays a short description of the commands and the current
- status of options.
-
- hint -- causes the program to supply the user with its predicted move.
-
- level -- allows the user to set time controls such as 60 moves in 5
- minutes etc. In tournament mode, the program will vary the time it
- takes for each move depending on the situation. If easy mode is dis-
- abled (using the 'easy' command), the program will often respond with
- its move immediately, saving time on its clock for use later on.
-
- list -- writes the game moves and some statistics on search depth,
- nodes, and time to the file 'chess.lst'.
-
- material -- toggle material flag - draws on no pawns and both sides <
- rook
-
- Mwpawn, Mbpawn, Mwknight, Mbknight, Mwbishop, Mbbishop -- print out
- static position evaluation table
-
- new -- starts a new game.
-
- p -- evaluates the board and shows the point score for each piece. The
- total score for a position is the sum of these individual piece scores.
-
- post -- causes the program to display the principle variation and the
- score during the search. A score of 100 is equivalent to a 1 pawn
- advantage for the computer.
-
- unpost -- turn off the post display.
-
- quit -- exits the game.
-
- random -- causes the program to randomize its move selection slightly.
-
- rcptr -- set recapture mode.
-
- remove -- backout the last level for both sides. Equal to 2 undo's.
-
- reverse -- causes the board display to be reversed. That is, the white
- pieces will now appear at the top of the board.
-
- rv -- reverse board display.
-
- setup -- Compatibility with Unix chess and the nchesstool. Set up a
- board position. Eight lines of eight characters are used to setup the
- board. a8-h8 is the first line. Black pieces are represented by
- uppercase characters.
-
- stars -- (gnuchessn only) add stars (*) to black pieces.
-
- save -- saves a game to disk. The program will prompt the user for a
- file name.
-
- switch -- causes the program to switch places with the opponent and
- begin searching.
-
- test -- performs some speed tests for MoveList and CaptureList genera-
- tion, and ScorePosition position scoring for the current board.
-
- time otim -- time set computers time remaining, intended for synchro-
- nizing clocks among multiple players. -- otim set opponents time
- remaining, intended for synchronizing clocks among multiple players.
-
- undo -- undoes the last move whether it was the computer's or the
- human's. You may also type "remove". This is equivalent to two "undo's"
- (e.g. retract one move for each side).
-
- white -- causes the computer to take the white pieces. If the computer
- is to move first the go command must be given.
-
- xget -- read an xboard position file.
-
- xwndw -- change X window. The window around alpha/beta used to deter-
- mine whether the position should be scored or just estimated.

-15. h3
-{
-Time: White: 1:18 Black: 0:31. Now Karpov has left stage. And GK hangs
-over the board as if to power up his chessmuscles. Kasparov seems
-relaxed and satisfied. White's problem is his weakened pawns on the
-Q-side. And as for his pride-pawn on d5? In an endgame it could be
-pure gold, but until then it gives a good square to a Black piece on
-d6. Kasparov now "hangs" his head between his hands. A very typical

-27. Rd1 Kf7

-30... Bd8
-{
-People in the pressroom seems to be losing interest a bit. I think
-that a long endgame battle may be ahead. The fight for the initiative

-slightly better, and it might be a draw."
-}
-31. Rc3

-Both are leaning across the board. If Karpov can get his king to d3,

-Zippy README file
-For version xboard/WinBoard 4.2.4 and later only
-$Id$
------------------------------------------------------
-
-Zippy is a program that lets GNU Chess act as a computer player on an
-Internet Chess Server. It also works with Crafty. Zippy is
-unsupported, experimental code.
-
-Zippy is based on XBoard, a graphical interface to GNU Chess and to
-the ICS for the X Window system on Unix. Zippy consists of exactly
-the same code as XBoard, plus one extra module that ties together the
-otherwise-separate functions of talking to GNU Chess and talking to
-the ICS. Zippy is included in the XBoard distribution.
-
-There is also a version of Zippy that is based on WinBoard, a port of
-XBoard to Win32 (Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 95). WinBoard does
-*not* run on Windows 3.1 or 3.11, not even with Win32s. In versions
-3.5 and later, the Zippy code is included in WinBoard.exe.
-
-If you use Zippy, I ask you to do the following:
-
-- Don't expect fast response if you send me mail about problems. It
-might take weeks for me to get back to you, or I might answer right
-away. Try to solve problems yourself before you mail me about them.
-Try asking someone who is actively running a Zippy-based player on ICC
-or FICS for help getting started. Mail me only if you get stuck.
-
-- Be honest. Tell the admins of whatever ICS you use that your player
-is a computer, so that it gets put onto the computer list, and follow
-the ICS computer policies. On ICC these are in "help computer"; read
-this file and abide by what it says.
-
-- If you want to interface some other chess program to ICS, feel free
-to start with this code. Some documentation is in the file
-engine-intf.html in the distribution.
-
-- Please do not use the -zt flag to have your program shout Zippy the
-Pinhead sayings (or other things that my Zippy shouts). One pinhead
-per server is plenty, and I'd like to keep the franchise. Feel free
-to use -zt to have your program shout some other kind of sayings if
-you like. Some of the jokes that Zippy shouts on ICC came from
-ftp://ftp.cco.caltech.edu/pub/humor. The poetry came from Project
-Gutenberg; try http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Web/booktitles.html as a starting
-point. You might find other suitable material at these sites. Prose
-tends to work poorly because it is dull when shouted in isolated
-250-character chunks.

-
-* * *
-
-Unix: To build the Zippy version of xboard, on most systems just do:
- configure --enable-zippy
- make
-
-Windows: WinBoard.exe (versions 3.5 and later) includes the Zippy
-code. There is no longer a distinct WinZippy.exe.
-
-In both xboard and WinBoard, the Zippy features are off by default.
-You can activate them with two new resources/command line options, and
-you can fine-tune them with some new environment variables, all
-described below.
-
-You will probably want to make a shell script or Windows .BAT file
-that sets the environment variables you want to use and invokes Zippy
-with the right command line options for your situation. Some examples
-are at the bottom of this file.
-
-If you have problems building or running Zippy, see the rest of the
-xboard documentation: INSTALL documents the configure program, while
-READ_ME and xboard.man (or xboard.txt) document xboard itself, and
-WinBoard.hlp documents WinBoard. FAQ answers some frequently asked
-questions. The file engine-intf.html contains some information about
-the interface between xboard/WinBoard and GNU Chess (or other chess
-engines).
-
-===========
-NEW OPTIONS
-===========
-
- -zippyPlay True/False or -zp/-xzp
- If zippyPlay is set to True, when xboard is in -ics mode, it
- will interface a chess engine to the ICS instead of letting you
- play. You must also set -ics when you use this mode.
-
- In zippyPlay mode, xboard blindly issues an accept command for
- every (well, almost every, see below) challenge it gets,
- without remembering anything about the challenge afterwards.
- This means that often it will get several challenges very
- close together and try to accept them all! ICS gives an error
- message for every accept command after the one that actually
- starts a match, but xboard just happily ignores the message.
- xboard doesn't actually start the chess engine playing until
- the first board image comes in from ICS.
-
- The getMoveList option controls how adjourned games are
- continued. If it is True (the default), xboard fetches the
- move list from ICS and feeds it into the chess program before
- having the program start play. If False, xboard feeds the
- current position into the chess program and has it start from
- there. The latter option gets the program going sooner, but
- can cause problems with detection of en passant legality,
- castling legality (if a king or rook has moved and then
- returned to its home square), draw by repetition, and draw by
- the 50 move rule.
-
- In zippyPlay mode, colorization in the ICS interaction window,
- and the sounds corresponding to colors in that window, do not
- work. zippyPassword and related features (see below) capture
- the tells, etc., before they can be matched by the color/sound
- code.
-
- -zippyTalk True/False or -zt/-xzt
- If zippyTalk is set to True and xboard is in -ics mode:
-
- (1) It will reply to anything said to it with a saying (if
- there is a file of sayings in its working directory). This
- includes channel tells and shouts where its name is mentioned.
- Some things it says to opponents in specific situations will
- also be made Zippy-ish; you might want to change that. See
- zippyLines below for the file format.
-
- (2) If a player XXX in your notify list logs on, xboard sends
- the command "greet XXX" to ICS and tells XXX something from
- its sayings file. You can alias this to whatever you like.
- If XXX is censoring you, he is automatically removed from your
- notify list.
-
- (3) If a player XXX in your notify list logs off, xboard sends
- the command "farewell XXX" to ICS. You can alias this to
- whatever you like. Note that the player is already gone, so
- telling him something is futile.
-
- If zippyTalk is on, colorization in the ICS interaction
- window, and the sounds corresponding to colors in that window,
- do not work. The reply feature captures the tells, etc.,
- before they can be matched by the color/sound code.
-
- In both -zp and -zt modes, if admin X spoofs Zippy, Zippy sends the
- command "spoofedby X" to ICS. You can alias this to something if you
- want; otherwise it will produce a harmless error message.
-
- -zippyPinhead string
- In zippyTalk mode, if user XXX shouts anything containing
- this string, xboard sends the command "insult XXX" to ICS.
- You can alias "insult" to whatever you like. This feature is
- disabled if the option is not set.
-
- -zippyPassword string
- If someone does an ICS "tell" to xboard that begins with this
- password, it will type the same string back as a command with
- the password stripped off. For example, if the password is
- !%%! and xboard sees the string "Darooha tells you: !%%!shout
- Hi there", it will type the command "shout Hi there" to the
- ICS. This feature is disabled if the option is not set.
-
- -zippyPassword2 string
- If someone does an ICS "tell" to xboard that begins with this
- password, it will send the same string directly to the chess
- engine with the password stripped off. This feature is
- disabled if the option is not set. Use with caution.
-
- -zippyWrongPassword string
- This is a joke feature. If player XXX does an ICS "tell" to
- xboard that begins with this password, it will send the
- command "wrong XXX" to ICS. ICS does not define a "wrong"
- command, but you can alias it to whatever you like. The
- feature is supposed to be used after you've changed the
- zippyPassword, so that people who knew the old password get a
- funny message. Disabled if not set.
-
- -zippyUseI True/False or -zui/-xzui
- If this option is true, Zippy's shouts use the "i" command with
- funny verbs; otherwise they use the "shout" command. Default
- is true. The variable is automatically set to false if the "i"
- command is disabled on ICS by the admins.
-
- -zippyLines filename
- Name of the file Zippy looks in for sayings when -zt is set.
- Default: yow.lines. File format: There must be a single ^
- character or null character (control-@, ASCII code \000) after
- each saying. Sayings can have newlines in them; Zippy will
- remove them. Sayings can be at most about 250 characters;
- longer ones will be ignored. The first saying in the file is
- never used; you should put a comment there. If you have only
- one or two sayings in your file, Zippy may get into a loop
- trying to choose one. Zippy chooses a saying by seeking to a
- random character position in the file, skipping ahead to the
- *next* null character, and printing the saying that starts
- there. If it hits end of file without finding a new saying,
- it tries again. Yes, this is a dumb algorithm.
-
- -zippyAcceptOnly string
- Normally, Zippy automatically accepts challenges from all
- opponents. If this option is set to an ICS login name, Zippy
- will auto-accept challenges only from that opponent. Set the
- option to an invalid name like "0" if you don't want Zippy to
- auto-accept any challenges. You can still accept challenges
- manually. Setting this option also suppresses the
- zippyGameEnd feature described below. Default: not set.
-
- -zippyNoplayCrafty True/False or -znc/-xznc
- If this option is set to True, if Zippy's opponent kibitzes
- "Hello from Crafty" within the first couple of moves, Zippy
- will abort the game and add the opponent to his noplay list.
- Default: False.
-
- -zippyGameStart string
- At the start of each game Zippy plays (including resuming from
- adjournment), it sends this string to ICS, followed by a newline.
- If the option is not set, nothing is sent.
-
- -zippyGameEnd string
- At the end of each game, Zippy sends this string to ICS,
- followed by a newline. If you do not set this option, the
- string "gameend" is sent. This is not a legal ICS command,
- but you can alias it to whatever you like, or you can leave
- it undefined, which will cause ICS to print a harmless error
- message after each game. If you want to send more than one
- command at the end of the game, on ICC you can alias gameend
- to a "multi" command (see the ICC help files), but on FICS that
- does not work. Instead, use the -zippyGameEnd option to have
- a string of several commands sent, with newlines in between.
- For example, you could give WinBoard the command line option
- -zippyGameEnd='say thanks\nseek 5 0\nseek 2 12\n'
- You could give xboard the command line option
- -xrm '*zippyGameEnd: say thanks\nseek 5 0\nseek 2 12\n'
-
- -zippyAdjourn True/False or -zadj/-xzadj
- Zippy will allow its opponent to adjourn if this option is
- set to true. Default: False.
-
- -zippyAbort True/False or -zab/-xzab
- Zippy will allow its opponent to abort if this option is
- set to true. Default: False.
-
- -zippyVariants string
- Zippy will decline to play chess variants unless their names
- (as given in engine-intf.html) are listed in this option.
- Default: "normal". Example: "suicide,losers,bughouse,normal".
-
- Obviously, zippyVariants other than "normal" will work only
- if your chess engine can play those variants. GNU Chess
- certainly cannot, but there are some suicide and bughouse
- engines available. While playing bughouse, Zippy passes
- certain extra information on to the engine; see
- engine-intf.html.
-
- -zippyBughouse int
- This option controls how Zippy handles bughouse partner
- requests. If zippyBughouse is set to 0, Zippy will decline
- any offers of partnership and tell the offerer that it cannot
- play bughouse. If zippyBughouse is set to 1, Zippy will
- decline offers, but you can make Zippy your partner by having
- *it* offer *you* partnership (by using zippyPassword or typing
- directly into its window). If zippyBughouse is set to 2,
- Zippy will accept all offers of partnership, even if it
- already has a partner. zippyBughouse must be at least 1 for
- partner tells to be relayed to the engine with the ptell
- command.
-
- -zippyMaxGames int
- -zippyReplayTimeout
- If zippyMaxGames > 0, Zippy will play at most the given number
- of consecutive games against the same opponent. Thereafter,
- Zippy will decline all challenges from that opponent (with an
- explanatory tell) until either someone else has played or
- zippyReplayTimeout seconds have elapsed. Defaults:
- zippyMaxGames=0, zippyReplayTimeout=120.
-
- Note: If you use these options and you have Zippy doing seeks,
- be sure to include the "m" flag in the ICS seek command. If
- you use "seek m", when a player responds to the seek, the ICS
- gives Zippy a challenge that it can either accept or decline.
- If you use a seek without the "m" flag, the ICS immediately
- starts a game between Zippy and the first opponent to respond,
- giving Zippy no choice about whether to accept or decline.
-
-=====================
-ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
-=====================
-
- For backward compatibility with version 4.0.2 and earlier only, most
- of the command line options listed above can also be set as
- environment variables. For boolean options, use 0 for false, 1 for
- true in the corresponding environment variable. The following
- environment variables are supported.:
-
- ZIPPYPINHEAD, ZIPPYPASSWORD, ZIPPYPASSWORD2, ZIPPYWRONGPASSWORD,
- ZIPPYUSEI, ZIPPYLINES, ZIPPYACCEPTONLY, ZIPPYNOPLAYCRAFTY,
- ZIPPYGAMESTART, ZIPPYGAMEEND, ZIPPYADJOURN, ZIPPYABORT,
- ZIPPYVARIANTS, ZIPPYBUGHOUSE
-
- Warnings: (1) If both the command line option and the corresponding
- environment variable are set, the environment variable takes
- precedence! (2) Some of the environment variables have names that
- are too long for Solaris 2.5's /bin/csh. Use the command line
- options instead. (3) Newer options DO NOT have environment
- variables. If you don't see it in the list above, it doesn't exist.
- (4) In the future the environment variables may go away entirely.
- It would be a good idea to stop using them now and switch to the
- command line options.
-
-You may also want to customize other things by editing zippy.c and
-recompiling the program.
-
-=====================
-ICS VARIABLE SETTINGS
-=====================
-
-You need to do the following settings on ICS:
-
- set highlight 0 <-- I'm not sure this is still needed
- set oldmatch 0
- set examine 0
-
-If you want to use the zippyPassword remote-control feature, it's a
-good idea to do the following, so that commands you give Zippy won't
-be truncated because the ICS wrapped a "tell" to a new line:
-
- set wrap 0 <-- on ICC, or
- set width 255 <-- on FICS
-
-You will probably want to turn on server-side autoflagging too:
-
- set autoflag 1
-
-======
-SIMULS
-======
-
-It has been discovered that Zippy can play simuls on ICC (but not on
-FICS). If you arrange for Zippy to send the ICC command "simulize" in
-the -zippyGameStart string, it will accept additional games while
-playing. Zippy will use the same engine for every game, so whenever
-it switches opponents, the engine's state will be reset with the "new"
-command. This will of course weaken its play, so don't enable simuls
-if you want your engine to have the highest possible rating.
-
-Zippy was never designed to work with simuls; it just works by
-accident, and it hasn't been tested much. So please report any bugs
-you notice, but don't expect them to be fixed rapidly.
-
-Be sure to use xboard/WinBoard 4.2.4 or later for simuls, because some
-obscure bugs are fixed in that version that affect starting a game in
-the middle (as with resuming from adjournments or switching opponents
-in a simul).
-
-As noted under -zippyPlay above, you should have -getMoveList on to
-ensure that the engine knows the game history after switching boards
-and thus handles draw by repetition and by the 50-move rule correctly.
-It should, however, also work to turn off this option to speed things
-up and reduce network bandwidth, if you don't mind the engine
-occasionally failing to see draw possibilities. Unfortunately,
-though, with Crafty 18.3 (and probably other versions too) as the
-engine, users trying this have experienced Crafty crashes. This looks
-to me like a Crafty bug, but I wasn't able to reproduce it, so it
-remains a mystery.
-
-
-========
-EXAMPLES
-========
-
-Here are some small example command lines. You may want to use more
-options; see the man page, info file, or help file, and perhaps the
-FAQ file too. You may want to put the command line into a Unix shell
-script or Windows .BAT file, which is simply a text file of commands.
-On Unix, turn on execute permission for the file (chmod a+x file); on
-Windows, give it the extension .BAT. You can then run it just like an
-ordinary program. Please do not ask me questions about how to make a
-shell script or .BAT file; these are not functions of xboard/WinBoard,
-but basic operating system features that you can learn about from
-introductory books, friends, teachers, or the online help for your
-system. The examples below should be more than enough to get you
-started.

+++ /dev/null
-This is a sample zippy.lines file for xboard/WinBoard 4.0.4 or later.
-Text before the first caret, like this text, is a comment.
-^
-Here is the first saying. Sayings are separated by caret characters,
-like the character that appears on the next line.
-^
-Here is the second saying.
-^
-Here is saying #3. Note you don't need newlines before the caret characters.^
-Here is saying #4 -- note that it's okay for a saying
-to extend across more than one line. The line breaks are ignored.
-^Saying #5: You don't need newlines after the caret characters either,
-but don't put two carets in a row.
-^
-Our sixth bit of wisdom is that you can use ASCII NUL characters
-(character code \000) instead of carets, but carets are easier to deal with
-in most text editors. In version 4.0.3 and earlier, carets did not work;
-only NULs were allowed.
-^
-The seventh thing you should remember is that any saying more than 250
-characters long will not be used. Therefore, because this saying is
-more than 250 characters long, it will never be used. This is an
-extra sentence to make the saying more than 250 characters long so
-that the previous sentence will be true.
-^
-The eighth item to know is that when you are testing, you had better have
-several valid sayings in your file; for various reasons, having too few
-sayings can cause Zippy to get into an endless loop, or to be very slow.
-^
-As the ninth and final saying, let me add that you need a caret
-at the end of the file; any junk after the last caret is ignored.

-<h1>WinBoard 4.3.15</h1>\r
-<h2>"For the ultimate WinBoard experience"</h2>\r
-<h3>Introduction</h3>\r
-<p>\r
-The WinBoard 4.3 series is a continuation of the WinBoard_x line by Allessandro Scotti.\r
-It is been further developed, and is maintained, by H.G. Muller.\r
-Most addtions and improvements that went into this since the last version produced\r
-by the GNU-Savannah xboard project team, WinBoard 4.2.7b,\r
-are unfortunately not parallelled in xboard.\r
-On the contrary, they have destroyed the compatibility of the back-end sources\r
-shared by WinBoard and xboard with the xboard front-end of version 4.2.7b.\r
-Since WinBoard 4.3.14, however, the releases again coms with a compatible xboard front-end.\r
-That does not mean that all the features added to WinBoard can already be used\r
-in this xboard version.\r
-But some can, an in 4.3.15 many more have been added.\r
-</p><p>\r
-The description below applies specifically to WinBoard, \r
-although we have tried to mark features that can also be used in xboard by (x) everywhere.\r
-This version of xboard does does have som new menus added to control such features.\r
-Other functionss, if they work at all, must be switched on from the command line.\r

-<h3>New features since 4.2.7b</h3>\r
-<p>\r
-Below follows a table that lists the new features, \r
-the command-line option needed to control them,\r
-and if there is a menu provided that can switch the option while WinBoard is running\r
-(command-line options exert their effect only at startup).\r
-Note that, unlike WinBoard 4.2.7, the WinBoard 4.3 series is fully castling and e.p. aware,\r
-and handles the castling, e.p. and 50-move field in FENs on input and output as should be expected.\r

-Description of the universal chess interface (UCI) April 2004
-================================================================
-
-* The specification is independent of the operating system. For Windows,
- the engine is a normal exe file, either a console or "real" windows application.
-
-* all communication is done via standard input and output with text commands,
-
-* The engine should boot and wait for input from the GUI,
- the engine should wait for the "isready" or "setoption" command to set up its internal parameters
- as the boot process should be as quick as possible.
-
-* the engine must always be able to process input from stdin, even while thinking.
-
-* all command strings the engine receives will end with '\n',
- also all commands the GUI receives should end with '\n',
- Note: '\n' can be 0x0c or 0x0a0c or any combination depending on your OS.
- If you use Engine und GUI in the same OS this should be no problem if you cummunicate in text mode,
- but be aware of this when for example running a Linux engine in a Windows GUI.
-
-* The engine will always be in forced mode which means it should never start calculating
- or pondering without receiving a "go" command first.
-
-* Before the engine is asked to search on a position, there will always be a position command
- to tell the engine about the current position.
-
-* by default all the opening book handling is done by the GUI,
- but there is an option for the engine to use its own book ("OwnBook" option, see below)
-
-* if the engine or the GUI receives an unknown command or token it should just ignore it and try to
- parse the rest of the string.
-
-* if the engine receives a command which is not supposed to come, for example "stop" when the engine is
- not calculating, it should also just ignore it.
-
-
-Move format:
-------------
-
-The move format is in long algebraic notation.
-A nullmove from the Engine to the GUI should be send as 0000.
-Examples: e2e4, e7e5, e1g1 (white short castling), e7e8q (for promotion)
-
-
-
-GUI to engine:
---------------
-
-These are all the command the engine gets from the interface.
-
-* uci
- tell engine to use the uci (universal chess interface),
- this will be send once as a first command after program boot
- to tell the engine to switch to uci mode.
- After receiving the uci command the engine must identify itself with the "id" command
- and sent the "option" commands to tell the GUI which engine settings the engine supports if any.
- After that the engine should sent "uciok" to acknowledge the uci mode.
- If no uciok is sent within a certain time period, the engine task will be killed by the GUI.
-
-* debug [ on | off ]
- switch the debug mode of the engine on and off.
- In debug mode the engine should sent additional infos to the GUI, e.g. with the "info string" command,
- to help debugging, e.g. the commands that the engine has received etc.
- This mode should be switched off by default and this command can be sent
- any time, also when the engine is thinking.
-
-* isready
- this is used to synchronize the engine with the GUI. When the GUI has sent a command or
- multiple commands that can take some time to complete,
- this command can be used to wait for the engine to be ready again or
- to ping the engine to find out if it is still alive.
- E.g. this should be sent after setting the path to the tablebases as this can take some time.
- This command is also required once before the engine is asked to do any search
- to wait for the engine to finish initializing.
- This command must always be answered with "readyok" and can be sent also when the engine is calculating
- in which case the engine should also immediately answer with "readyok" without stopping the search.
-
-* setoption name <id> [value <x>]
- this is sent to the engine when the user wants to change the internal parameters
- of the engine. For the "button" type no value is needed.
- One string will be sent for each parameter and this will only be sent when the engine is waiting.
- The name of the option in <id> should not be case sensitive and can inludes spaces like also the value.
- The substrings "value" and "name" should be avoided in <id> and <x> to allow unambiguous parsing,
- for example do not use <name> = "draw value".
- Here are some strings for the example below:
- "setoption name Nullmove value true\n"
- "setoption name Selectivity value 3\n"
- "setoption name Style value Risky\n"
- "setoption name Clear Hash\n"
- "setoption name NalimovPath value c:\chess\tb\4;c:\chess\tb\5\n"
-
-* register
- this is the command to try to register an engine or to tell the engine that registration
- will be done later. This command should always be sent if the engine has send "registration error"
- at program startup.
- The following tokens are allowed:
- * later
- the user doesn't want to register the engine now.
- * name <x>
- the engine should be registered with the name <x>
- * code <y>
- the engine should be registered with the code <y>
- Example:
- "register later"
- "register name Stefan MK code 4359874324"
-
-* ucinewgame
- this is sent to the engine when the next search (started with "position" and "go") will be from
- a different game. This can be a new game the engine should play or a new game it should analyse but
- also the next position from a testsuite with positions only.
- If the GUI hasn't sent a "ucinewgame" before the first "position" command, the engine shouldn't
- expect any further ucinewgame commands as the GUI is probably not supporting the ucinewgame command.
- So the engine should not rely on this command even though all new GUIs should support it.
- As the engine's reaction to "ucinewgame" can take some time the GUI should always send "isready"
- after "ucinewgame" to wait for the engine to finish its operation.
-
-* position [fen <fenstring> | startpos ] moves <move1> .... <movei>
- set up the position described in fenstring on the internal board and
- play the moves on the internal chess board.
- if the game was played from the start position the string "startpos" will be sent
- Note: no "new" command is needed. However, if this position is from a different game than
- the last position sent to the engine, the GUI should have sent a "ucinewgame" inbetween.
-
-* go
- start calculating on the current position set up with the "position" command.
- There are a number of commands that can follow this command, all will be sent in the same string.
- If one command is not send its value should be interpreted as it would not influence the search.
- * searchmoves <move1> .... <movei>
- restrict search to this moves only
- Example: After "position startpos" and "go infinite searchmoves e2e4 d2d4"
- the engine should only search the two moves e2e4 and d2d4 in the initial position.
- * ponder
- start searching in pondering mode.
- Do not exit the search in ponder mode, even if it's mate!
- This means that the last move sent in in the position string is the ponder move.
- The engine can do what it wants to do, but after a "ponderhit" command
- it should execute the suggested move to ponder on. This means that the ponder move sent by
- the GUI can be interpreted as a recommendation about which move to ponder. However, if the
- engine decides to ponder on a different move, it should not display any mainlines as they are
- likely to be misinterpreted by the GUI because the GUI expects the engine to ponder
- on the suggested move.
- * wtime <x>
- white has x msec left on the clock
- * btime <x>
- black has x msec left on the clock
- * winc <x>
- white increment per move in mseconds if x > 0
- * binc <x>
- black increment per move in mseconds if x > 0
- * movestogo <x>
- there are x moves to the next time control,
- this will only be sent if x > 0,
- if you don't get this and get the wtime and btime it's sudden death
- * depth <x>
- search x plies only.
- * nodes <x>
- search x nodes only,
- * mate <x>
- search for a mate in x moves
- * movetime <x>
- search exactly x mseconds
- * infinite
- search until the "stop" command. Do not exit the search without being told so in this mode!
-
-* stop
- stop calculating as soon as possible,
- don't forget the "bestmove" and possibly the "ponder" token when finishing the search
-
-* ponderhit
- the user has played the expected move. This will be sent if the engine was told to ponder on the same move
- the user has played. The engine should continue searching but switch from pondering to normal search.
-
-* quit
- quit the program as soon as possible
-
-
-Engine to GUI:
---------------
-
-* id
- * name <x>
- this must be sent after receiving the "uci" command to identify the engine,
- e.g. "id name Shredder X.Y\n"
- * author <x>
- this must be sent after receiving the "uci" command to identify the engine,
- e.g. "id author Stefan MK\n"
-
-* uciok
- Must be sent after the id and optional options to tell the GUI that the engine
- has sent all infos and is ready in uci mode.
-
-* readyok
- This must be sent when the engine has received an "isready" command and has
- processed all input and is ready to accept new commands now.
- It is usually sent after a command that can take some time to be able to wait for the engine,
- but it can be used anytime, even when the engine is searching,
- and must always be answered with "isready".
-
-* bestmove <move1> [ ponder <move2> ]
- the engine has stopped searching and found the move <move> best in this position.
- the engine can send the move it likes to ponder on. The engine must not start pondering automatically.
- this command must always be sent if the engine stops searching, also in pondering mode if there is a
- "stop" command, so for every "go" command a "bestmove" command is needed!
- Directly before that the engine should send a final "info" command with the final search information,
- the the GUI has the complete statistics about the last search.
-
-* copyprotection
- this is needed for copyprotected engines. After the uciok command the engine can tell the GUI,
- that it will check the copy protection now. This is done by "copyprotection checking".
- If the check is ok the engine should sent "copyprotection ok", otherwise "copyprotection error".
- If there is an error the engine should not function properly but should not quit alone.
- If the engine reports "copyprotection error" the GUI should not use this engine
- and display an error message instead!
- The code in the engine can look like this
- TellGUI("copyprotection checking\n");
- // ... check the copy protection here ...
- if(ok)
- TellGUI("copyprotection ok\n");
- else
- TellGUI("copyprotection error\n");
-
-* registration
- this is needed for engines that need a username and/or a code to function with all features.
- Analog to the "copyprotection" command the engine can send "registration checking"
- after the uciok command followed by either "registration ok" or "registration error".
- Also after every attempt to register the engine it should answer with "registration checking"
- and then either "registration ok" or "registration error".
- In contrast to the "copyprotection" command, the GUI can use the engine after the engine has
- reported an error, but should inform the user that the engine is not properly registered
- and might not use all its features.
- In addition the GUI should offer to open a dialog to
- enable registration of the engine. To try to register an engine the GUI can send
- the "register" command.
- The GUI has to always answer with the "register" command if the engine sends "registration error"
- at engine startup (this can also be done with "register later")
- and tell the user somehow that the engine is not registered.
- This way the engine knows that the GUI can deal with the registration procedure and the user
- will be informed that the engine is not properly registered.
-
-* info
- the engine wants to send infos to the GUI. This should be done whenever one of the info has changed.
- The engine can send only selected infos and multiple infos can be send with one info command,
- e.g. "info currmove e2e4 currmovenumber 1" or
- "info depth 12 nodes 123456 nps 100000".
- Also all infos belonging to the pv should be sent together
- e.g. "info depth 2 score cp 214 time 1242 nodes 2124 nps 34928 pv e2e4 e7e5 g1f3"
- I suggest to start sending "currmove", "currmovenumber", "currline" and "refutation" only after one second
- to avoid too much traffic.
- Additional info:
- * depth <x>
- search depth in plies
- * seldepth <x>
- selective search depth in plies,
- if the engine sends seldepth there must also a "depth" be present in the same string.
- * time <x>
- the time searched in ms, this should be sent together with the pv.
- * nodes <x>
- x nodes searched, the engine should send this info regularly
- * pv <move1> ... <movei>
- the best line found
- * multipv <num>
- this for the multi pv mode.
- for the best move/pv add "multipv 1" in the string when you send the pv.
- in k-best mode always send all k variants in k strings together.
- * score
- * cp <x>
- the score from the engine's point of view in centipawns.
- * mate <y>
- mate in y moves, not plies.
- If the engine is getting mated use negativ values for y.
- * lowerbound
- the score is just a lower bound.
- * upperbound
- the score is just an upper bound.
- * currmove <move>
- currently searching this move
- * currmovenumber <x>
- currently searching move number x, for the first move x should be 1 not 0.
- * hashfull <x>
- the hash is x permill full, the engine should send this info regularly
- * nps <x>
- x nodes per second searched, the engine should send this info regularly
- * tbhits <x>
- x positions where found in the endgame table bases
- * cpuload <x>
- the cpu usage of the engine is x permill.
- * string <str>
- any string str which will be displayed be the engine,
- if there is a string command the rest of the line will be interpreted as <str>.
- * refutation <move1> <move2> ... <movei>
- move <move1> is refuted by the line <move2> ... <movei>, i can be any number >= 1.
- Example: after move d1h5 is searched, the engine can send
- "info refutation d1h5 g6h5"
- if g6h5 is the best answer after d1h5 or if g6h5 refutes the move d1h5.
- if there is norefutation for d1h5 found, the engine should just send
- "info refutation d1h5"
- The engine should only send this if the option "UCI_ShowRefutations" is set to true.
- * currline <cpunr> <move1> ... <movei>
- this is the current line the engine is calculating. <cpunr> is the number of the cpu if
- the engine is running on more than one cpu. <cpunr> = 1,2,3....
- if the engine is just using one cpu, <cpunr> can be omitted.
- If <cpunr> is greater than 1, always send all k lines in k strings together.
- The engine should only send this if the option "UCI_ShowCurrLine" is set to true.
-
-
-* option
- This command tells the GUI which parameters can be changed in the engine.
- This should be sent once at engine startup after the "uci" and the "id" commands
- if any parameter can be changed in the engine.
- The GUI should parse this and build a dialog for the user to change the settings.
- Note that not every option needs to appear in this dialog as some options like
- "Ponder", "UCI_AnalyseMode", etc. are better handled elsewhere or are set automatically.
- If the user wants to change some settings, the GUI will send a "setoption" command to the engine.
- Note that the GUI need not send the setoption command when starting the engine for every option if
- it doesn't want to change the default value.
- For all allowed combinations see the example below,
- as some combinations of this tokens don't make sense.
- One string will be sent for each parameter.
- * name <id>
- The option has the name id.
- Certain options have a fixed value for <id>, which means that the semantics of this option is fixed.
- Usually those options should not be displayed in the normal engine options window of the GUI but
- get a special treatment. "Pondering" for example should be set automatically when pondering is
- enabled or disabled in the GUI options. The same for "UCI_AnalyseMode" which should also be set
- automatically by the GUI. All those certain options have the prefix "UCI_" except for the
- first 6 options below. If the GUI get an unknown Option with the prefix "UCI_", it should just
- ignore it and not display it in the engine's options dialog.
- * <id> = Hash, type is spin
- the value in MB for memory for hash tables can be changed,
- this should be answered with the first "setoptions" command at program boot
- if the engine has sent the appropriate "option name Hash" command,
- which should be supported by all engines!
- So the engine should use a very small hash first as default.
- * <id> = NalimovPath, type string
- this is the path on the hard disk to the Nalimov compressed format.
- Multiple directories can be concatenated with ";"
- * <id> = NalimovCache, type spin
- this is the size in MB for the cache for the nalimov table bases
- These last two options should also be present in the initial options exchange dialog
- when the engine is booted if the engine supports it
- * <id> = Ponder, type check
- this means that the engine is able to ponder.
- The GUI will send this whenever pondering is possible or not.
- Note: The engine should not start pondering on its own if this is enabled, this option is only
- needed because the engine might change its time management algorithm when pondering is allowed.
- * <id> = OwnBook, type check
- this means that the engine has its own book which is accessed by the engine itself.
- if this is set, the engine takes care of the opening book and the GUI will never
- execute a move out of its book for the engine. If this is set to false by the GUI,
- the engine should not access its own book.
- * <id> = MultiPV, type spin
- the engine supports multi best line or k-best mode. the default value is 1
- * <id> = UCI_ShowCurrLine, type check, should be false by default,
- the engine can show the current line it is calculating. see "info currline" above.
- * <id> = UCI_ShowRefutations, type check, should be false by default,
- the engine can show a move and its refutation in a line. see "info refutations" above.
- * <id> = UCI_LimitStrength, type check, should be false by default,
- The engine is able to limit its strength to a specific Elo number,
- This should always be implemented together with "UCI_Elo".
- * <id> = UCI_Elo, type spin
- The engine can limit its strength in Elo within this interval.
- If UCI_LimitStrength is set to false, this value should be ignored.
- If UCI_LimitStrength is set to true, the engine should play with this specific strength.
- This should always be implemented together with "UCI_LimitStrength".
- * <id> = UCI_AnalyseMode, type check
- The engine wants to behave differently when analysing or playing a game.
- For example when playing it can use some kind of learning.
- This is set to false if the engine is playing a game, otherwise it is true.
- * <id> = UCI_Opponent, type string
- With this command the GUI can send the name, title, elo and if the engine is playing a human
- or computer to the engine.
- The format of the string has to be [GM|IM|FM|WGM|WIM|none] [<elo>|none] [computer|human] <name>
- Example:
- "setoption name UCI_Opponent value GM 2800 human Gary Kasparow"
- "setoption name UCI_Opponent value none none computer Shredder"
-
-
- * type <t>
- The option has type t.
- There are 5 different types of options the engine can send
- * check
- a checkbox that can either be true or false
- * spin
- a spin wheel that can be an integer in a certain range
- * combo
- a combo box that can have different predefined strings as a value
- * button
- a button that can be pressed to send a command to the engine
- * string
- a text field that has a string as a value,
- an empty string has the value "<empty>"
- * default <x>
- the default value of this parameter is x
- * min <x>
- the minimum value of this parameter is x
- * max <x>
- the maximum value of this parameter is x
- * var <x>
- a predefined value of this parameter is x
- Example:
- Here are 5 strings for each of the 5 possible types of options
- "option name Nullmove type check default true\n"
- "option name Selectivity type spin default 2 min 0 max 4\n"
- "option name Style type combo default Normal var Solid var Normal var Risky\n"
- "option name NalimovPath type string default c:\\n"
- "option name Clear Hash type button\n"
-
-
-
-Example:
---------
-
-This is how the communication when the engine boots can look like:
-
-GUI engine
-
-// tell the engine to switch to UCI mode
-uci
-
-// engine identify
- id name Shredder
- id author Stefan MK
-
-// engine sends the options it can change
-// the engine can change the hash size from 1 to 128 MB
- option name Hash type spin default 1 min 1 max 128
-
-// the engine supports Nalimov endgame tablebases
- option name NalimovPath type string default <empty>
- option name NalimovCache type spin default 1 min 1 max 32
-
-// the engine can switch off Nullmove and set the playing style
- option name Nullmove type check default true
- option name Style type combo default Normal var Solid var Normal var Risky
-
-// the engine has sent all parameters and is ready
- uciok
-
-// Note: here the GUI can already send a "quit" command if it just wants to find out
-// details about the engine, so the engine should not initialize its internal
-// parameters before here.
-// now the GUI sets some values in the engine
-// set hash to 32 MB
-setoption name Hash value 32
-
-// init tbs
-setoption name NalimovCache value 1
-setoption name NalimovPath value d:\tb;c\tb
-
-// waiting for the engine to finish initializing
-// this command and the answer is required here!
-isready
-
-// engine has finished setting up the internal values
- readyok
-
-// now we are ready to go
-
-// if the GUI is supporting it, tell the engine that is is
-// searching on a game that is hasn't searched on before
-ucinewgame
-
-// if the engine supports the "UCI_AnalyseMode" option and the next search is supposted to
-// be an analysis, the GUI should set "UCI_AnalyseMode" to true if it is currently
-// set to false with this engine
-setoption name UCI_AnalyseMode value true
-
-// tell the engine to search infinite from the start position after 1.e4 e5
-position startpos moves e2e4 e7e5

-\r
- WinBoard 4.3.14k RELEASE NOTES\r
-\r

-\r
-New command-line options: \r
-/autoKibitz (for relaying the PV info of the engine to the ICS) \r
-/userName="..." (for setting the name of the Human player, also as menu) \r

-* A bug in the clock display that made previous versions of WinBoard crash for tiny displays is fixed\r
-\r
-General enhancements: \r
-* variant name displayed in title bar in ICS mode, when not 'normal' \r
-* when receiving a challenge in ICS zippy mode, it is checked if the engine supports the variant (/zippyVariants="..." can still be used to limit the allowed variants, and for protocol-1 engines is still the only thing to go on) \r
-* when loading a game from a PGN file, WB automatically switches to the variant specified in the PGN tags \r
-* when starting from a loaded position (using /loadPositionFile), this position will be used on subsequent 'New Game' commands as well (until we switch variant)\r
-\r
-New is also that the source tree is now brought back in the original WinBoard 4.2.7 format, including\r
-xboard source files. Note, however, that the xboard sources are from an older date, and I did not test\r
-if they still compile together with the much newer backend sources. I did add code in xboard.c to recognize\r
-the new command-line options I added since then, and in so far they are back-end options that should be enough \r
-to make them work. This is completely untested, though; I did not even try to compile it. Last time anyone\r
-built a working xboard.exe from this was at a stage where WinBoard did have adjustable board size, allowing\r
-it to play Xiangqi. But no crazyhouse holdings yet.\r
-\r
- WinBoard 4.3.13a RELEASE NOTES\r
-\r
-This version of WinBoard_F fixes several bugs in 4.3.12, and also addse a few new features.\r
-The new features include:\r
-- some more fairy pieces, so that each side now has 22 piece types in stead of 17,\r
-making most fairy pieces available in board size "petite" (next to "bulky" and "middling"),\r
-making the ArchBishop and Chancellor, as well as one wildcard piece (the Lance) available in all \r
-sizes from "petite" to "bulky".\r
-- The FRC support is fully fixed, both in local and ICS mode.\r
-- A mechanism is provided for safe draw claiming in cases where a 3-fold repetition woud occur only\r
- after your own move. In this case a draw will be awarded by WinBoard if the engine sends "offer draw"\r
- before making its move.\r
-- Genuine draw offers are not passed on immediately to the opponent but held up to when the offerer announces\r
- its move.\r
-- Variants FRC, Cylinder and Falcon are added to the "New Variant..." menu.\r
-- Support for playing time-odds games is added. (Options /firstTimeOdds, /secondTimeOdds, /timeOddsMode)\r
-- A mechanism is provided for attaching WinBoard options to the engine command, to create options that\r
-follow the engine (e.g. time odds) in a tournament run under a tournament manager.\r
-Bugfixes include:\r
-- Shatranj in ICS mode (did not work at all before)\r
-- Some draw adjudications (QRKR was mistaken for KRKR, and KBKB with like Bishops is now recognized)\r
-- time info in the PGN is now correct\r
-\r
-\r
- COMPILING\r
-\r
-This version was developed using gcc under cygwin. To compile, the following set of commands was used,\r
-given from the directory where all the source files are:\r
- flex -oparser.o -L parser.l\r
- windres --use-temp-file --include-dir . winboard.rc -O coff -o wbres.o\r
- gcc -O2 -mno-cygwin -mwindows -c *.c\r
- gcc -mno-cygwin -mwindows *.o -lwsock32 -lwinmm -o winboard.exe\r
- strip winboard.exe\r
- rm *.o\r
-The first command is only needed to produce a new parser.c from the parser.l. The parser.c is included\r
-in this release, so you only need flex if you want to modify the parser. \r
-The windres command builds the resource file wbres.o from winboard.rc and all bitmaps and sound files in\r
-the sub-directories.\r
-This release should be completely self-sufficient; no source files from other releases are needed,\r
-even the unmodified files are included here,\r
-\r
- DESCRIPTION\r
-\r
-This WinBoard (beta-)version is derived from Allessandro Scotti's Winboard_x, and supports the following new options, mainly in the area of adjudication of engine-engine games, improved Crazyhouse support, and allowing variants with non-conventional pieces and or board sizes. (All option are shown here with their default values):\r
-\r
-/variant=normal \r
-This (already existing) option has been expanded with several new variants, involving non-conventional pieces and deviating board sizes. The board size is automatically adapted to the selected variant, unless explicitly overruled (see below). The new variants are (with default board size, files x ranks, in parentheses): \r
-\r
-variant name Game board description\r
-knightmate Knightmate (8x8) Variant where the King moves as a Knight, and vice versa \r
-capablanca Capablanca Chess (10x8) Variant featuring Archbishop and Chancellor as new pieces \r
-gothic Gothic Chess (10x8) Same as Capablanca, with a more interesting opening position \r
-courier Courier Chess (12x8) a Medieval form that combines elements of Shatranj and modern Chess \r
-shogi Shogi (9x9) Japanese Chess \r
-xiangqi Xiangqi (9x10) Chinese Chess \r
-fairy Fairy Chess (8x8) Variant were you can use all pieces of other variants together \r
-fischerandom FRC (8x8) Shuffle variant with generalized castling rule\r
-cylinder Cylinder Chess (8x8) left and right board edge are connected\r
-falcon Falcon Chess (10x8) a patented variant featuring two Falcon pieces\r
- \r
-The variant can be set from the newly added "File -> New Variant..." sub-menu. \r
-Extra board files are indicated by the letters i, j, k, l, ... For boards with more than 9 ranks, the counting starts at zero! More than 10 ranks is not tested and unlikely to work in the area of PGN saving / reading. Non-FIDE pieces will be referred to in FENs and PGN by letters that depend on the variant, and might collide with piece designators in other variants. E.g. in Xiangqi 'C' is a Cannon, in Capablanca Chess it is a Chancellor. Pieces that do not belong in a variant cannot be addressed in FEN and PGN either, for as long as that variant is selected, unless the letter assignment is overruled with the aid of the /pieceToCharTable option. The variant is not saved in the winboard.ini file; on start-up we always get variant "normal" unless we use the command-line option, or have added the option to the winboard.ini file manually (in which case it will disappear when this file is overwritten by WinBoard saving its options). \r
-WinBoard_F knows the movement of all pieces occurring in Capablanca Chess (of which FIDE Chess is a subset), Shatranj, Courier, Xiangqi and 9x9 Shogi, so that these games can be played with legality testing enabled. \r
-\r
-/pieceToCharTable="PNBRQFEACWMOHIJGDVLSUKpnbrqfeacwmohijgdvlsuk" (*********** ALTERED IN 4.3.13 *******)\r
-Each piece that WinBoard knows (in its legality test) has a letter associated with it, by which it will be referred to in FEN or PGN. The default assignment can be overruled with this option. The value has to be a string of even length, with at least 12 characters. The first half of the string designates the white pieces, the second half the black. \r
-The last letter for each color will be assigned to the King. (This is the piece that moves as an orthodox King; note that Nightmate and Xiangqi have a different royal piece.) All letters before it will be assigned to the other pieces in the order: \r
-\r
-P Pawn (move often depends on variant) \r
-N Knight (move subtly different in Xiangqi (where it is written as H) or Shogi) \r
-B Bishop \r
-R Rook \r
-Q Queen (Lance L in Shogi) \r
-F Ferz/General (The Shatranj 'Queen' and Xiangqi 'Adviser', used for Silver General S in Shogi.) \r
-E Alfil/Elephant (Moves subtly different in Xiangqi vs Shatranj/Courier) \r
-A Archbishop/Cardinal \r
-C Chancellor/Marshall \r
-W Wazir/GrandVizer (Gold General G in Shogi, in Xiangqi it is royal and denoted by K) \r
-M Commoner/Man\r
-O Cannon/Pao \r
-H Nightrider (Promoted Knight in Shogi and CrazyHouse) \r
-I (Promoted Bishop in Shogi and CrazyHouse) \r
-J (Promoted Rook in Shogi and CrazyHouse) \r
-G Grasshopper (Promoted Queen in Crazyhouse, promoted Lance in Shogi) \r
-D Dabbaba (Promoted Silver in Shogi) \r
-V Falcon wildcard\r
-L Lance wildcard\r
-S Snake wildcard\r
-U Unicorn (representation of Royal Knight in Knightmate, used as promoted Pawn in Shogi) \r
-K King \r
- \r
-NOTE THIS ORDER HAS BEEN ALTERED IN 4.3.13 compred to 4.3.12. Sorry about that; this was unavoidable to accomodate an engine that can play a Crazyhouse version of Capablanca Chess. This made it impossible to continue using the Archbishop and Chancellor as promoted versions of Bishop and Rook.\r

-NEW IN 4.3.13 is the concept of a wildcard piece: WinBoard will accept any move of such a piece as legal, even\r
-when legality testing is switched on. This allows participaton of a limited number of pieces that WinBoard \r
-does not know, while still applying legality testing to the other pieces. The only rice to pay, is that WinBoard\r
-cannot recognize checks (and thus mates) with such pieces. So if they participate, /testClaims should be off,\r
-as WinBoard will no longer recognize all mates.\r
-\r
-Pieces that are not mentioned (because the argument has less than 44 characters) will remain disabled. Mentioned pieces can be disabled by assigning them a '.' (period). They are then not recognized in FEN or PGN input. Non-FIDE pieces that are not assigned a letter will also not appear on the promotion menu. It is not advisable to disable a piece that is present in the opening position of the selected variant, though. \r
- Promoted pieces that need to be distinguished from original pieces of the same type (because of demotion on capture and transfer to the holdings) will be indicated by the letter for the unpromoted piece with a '+' in front of it (Shogi), or by the letter of the promoted piece with a '~' after it (Crazyhouse, Bughouse, in general everything with holdings that is not Shogi). To achieve this, they should be assigned the characters '+' or '~', respectively.\r
- All the new pieces have a native bitmap representation in the board sizes 'bulky' and 'middling'. For all window sizes that do not support such fairy bitmaps, promoted NBRQ are represented as a 2-sizes-smaller normal piece symbol, so that Crazyhouse can be played at any size. People disliking the fairy representations might even prefer this. \r
- There is an enhanced 'Edit Position' menu popup (right-clicking on the squares after selecting this mode in the main menu), featuring some common non-FIDE pieces, and 'promote' and 'demote' options to make those not directly in the menu. The promotion popup shows ArchBishop and Chancellor in Capablanca and Gothic, (or in fact in any game where this piece is not disabled or a promoted version of a normal piece), and leaves only the options YES / NO in Shogi. In Xiangqi there are no promotions.\r
- From version 4.3.13 on, the default assignment of characters to pieces is variant dependent. This makes the\r
-need for using this option even smaller. Xiangqi now uses H for Horse and C for Cannon. Shatranj uses B for Elephant and Q for Ferz (because some existing engines and ICC expect this)\r
-\r
-/fontPieceToCharTable="PNBRQFEACWMOHIJGDVLSUKpnbrqfeacwmohijgdvlsuk" (******* ALTERED IN 4.3.13 *******)\r
-This option is similar to /pieceToCharTable, but sets the font character that is used to display the piece on the screen (when font-based rendering is in use), rather than in the FEN or PGN. The default setting should work with George Tsavdaris' WinboardF font, which uses the 'intuitive' mapping of font characters to symbols. With font-based rendering the fairy pieces can be used at any board size.\r
-Note that UHIJGS are also used to represent the promoted versions of PNBRQF, in games like Crazyhouse and Shogi, where the promotion has to be undone on capture. In such games you are likely to prefer a different representation of those pieces then when they represent true fairy pieces.\r
-NOTE THAT THE ORDER HAS CHANGED IN 4.3.13 compared to 4.3.12\r
-\r
-/boardWidth=-1 /boardHeight=-1 \r
-Set a number of files and ranks of the playing board to a value that will override the defaults for the variant that is selected. A value of -1 means the variant default board size will be used for the corresponding parameter (and is itself the default value of these options). These parameters can be set in the "Files -> New Variant..." sub-menu, where they are reset to the default -1 if you OK the chosen variant without typing something to overrule it. These parameters are saved in the winboard.ini file. (But unless you saved while a variant with board-size override was selected, they will always be saved as -1.) \r
-A variant with a non-standard board size will be communicated to the engine(s) with the board size prefixed to the variant name, e.g. "variant 12x8_capablanca". In protocol 2 the engine must first enable this feature by sending "boardsizeFxR" amongst the accepted variants, where F is the maximum number of files, and R the maximum number of ranks, as decimal numbers. \r
-\r
-/holdingsSize=-1 \r
-Set the size of the holdings for dropable pieces to a value that will override the default for the variant that is selected. A value of -1 means the variant default holdings size will be used for that parameter (and is itself the default value of this options). This parameter can be set in the Files -> New Variant... sub-menu, where it is reset to the default -1 if you OK the chosen variant without typing something to overrule it. This parameters is saved in the winboard.ini file. \r
-To disable holdings, set their size to 0. They will then not be displayed. For non-zero holding size N, the holdings are displayed left and right of the board, and piece drops can be effected by dragging pieces from the holdings to the drop square. In bughouse, the holdings will be filled by the ICS. In all other variants, captured pieces will go into the holdings (after reversing their color). Only the first N pieces of the /pieceToCharTable argument will go into the holdings. All other pieces will be converted to Pawns. (In Shogi, however they will be demoted in the regular way before determining if they fit.) Pieces that are disabled (per default and per /pieceToCharTable option) might not be counted when determining what are the first N pieces. \r
-Non-standard holdingsize will be communicated to the engine by prefixing it (together with the board size, even if this is standard) to the variant name, e.g. "variant 7x7+5_shogi". In protocol 2 the engine should enable this feature by sending "holdingsH" amongst the variant names, where H is the maximum acceptable holdings size as a decimal number. \r
-\r
-/firstTimeOdds=1 /secondTimeOdds=1 (********** NEW IN 4.3.13 *********)\r
-The time given to first or second engine (initially, for later sessions, as increment or in the 'st' command)\r
-is divided by the given factor. This replaces the time odds feature of WinBoard_x, where two times separated by\r
-a slash could be given for the /timeContron parameter or in the time-control field of the menu.\r
-\r
-/timeOddsMode=1\r
-This option determines how the case is handled where both engines have a time-oddsfactor differing from 1.\r
-In mode 1 the times will be scaled such that the engine that gets the most time will get the nominal time,\r
-in mode 2 both engines will play at reduced time.\r
-\r
-/alphaRank=FALSE \r
-When this parameter is true, a-h are converted to 1-9, and vice versa, in all move output and input (to PGN files or SAN move display as well as in communication with the engine). This might be useful for Shogi, where conventionally one uses letters to designate ranks, and digits to designate files. Engines that want to use this option must make sure pieces are never represented by lower case! This option can be set from the Files -> New Variant... menu, where it defaults to FALSE unless you explicitly set it. It is not saved in the winboard.ini file. \r
-This kludge does not seem to work for reading PGN files. Saving works fine. For now, using it is not recommended. In the future it might be redefined as only affecting engine-engine communication, .\r
-Note that the PGN format in Shogi also leaves out the trailing '+' as check indicator: In Shogi such a trailing '+' means promotion, while a trailing '=' means defer promotion. Prefix '+' signs are used on moves with promoted pieces, disambiguation is done western SAN style.\r
-\r
-/allWhite=FALSE\r
-Causes the outline of the 'white' pieces to be superimposed onto the 'black' piece symbols as well (as a black outline) when native bitmaps are used (as opposed to font-based rendering). This is useful if we choose a very light color to represent the 'black' pieces. It might be particularly useful in Shogi, where the conventional representation of the 'black' pieces is as upside-down white pieces, so that both colors would be white. This option is saved in the winboard.ini file, and can be set in the "Options -> Board..." sub-menu. \r
-\r
-/flipBlack=FALSE\r
-Setting this option will cause upside-down display of the native piece bitmaps used to represent the pieces of the side that plays black, as would be needed for a traditional representation of Shogi pieces. It can be set from the "Options -> Board..." sub-menu, and it is saved in the winboard.ini file. For now, traditional Shogi bitmaps are only included for size "moderate". For other sizes you must depend on font-based rendering.\r
-\r
-/detectMate=TRUE \r
-/testClaim=TRUE \r
-/materialDraws=TRUE \r
-/trivialDraws=FALSE \r
-/ruleMoves=51 \r
-/repeatsToDraw=6 \r
-These are all options that only affect engine-engine play, and can be set from the "Options -> Engine..." sub-menu. They are all related to adjudication of games by the GUI. Legality checking must be switched on for them to work. \r
-If /detectMate is TRUE, the GUI recognizes checkmate and stalemate (but not in games with holdings!), and ends the game accordingly before the engines can claim. This is convenient for play with engines that fail to claim, and just exit. \r
- With /testClaim set, all result and illegal-move claims by engines that claim more than their own loss are scrutinized for validity, and false claims result in forfeit of the game. Useful with buggy engines. \r
- The option /materialDraws=TRUE causes games with insufficient mating material to be adjudicated immediately as draws, in case the engines would not claim these draws. This applies to KK, KNK and KBK. (A bug in 4.3.12, which\r
-overlooked KBKB with like Bishops as a legal draw, has been corrected in 4.3.13.)\r
- The option /trivialDraws adjudicates KNNK, KBKB, KNKN, KBKN, KRKR and KQKQ to draws after 3 moves (to allow for a quick tactical win). Note that in KQKQ this might not be sound, but that problem would disappear once bitbase probing is implemented. (A bug in 4.3.12, which led to KQKR being considered a trivail draw, is corrected in 4.3.13)\r
- The /ruleMoves determine after how many reversible moves the game is adjudicated as a draw. Setting this to 0 turns this option off. Draw claims by the engine are still accepted (with /testClaim=TRUE) after 50 reversible moves, even if /ruleMoves species a larger number. Note that it is perfectly legal according to FIDE rules to play on after 50 reversible moves, but in tournaments having two engines that want to play on forever is a nuisance in endings like KBNKR, where one of the engines thinks it is ahead and can avoids repeats virtually forever. \r
-The option /repeatsToDraw makes the GUI adjudicate a game as draw after the same position has occurred the specified number of times. If it is set to a value > 3, engines can still claim the draw after 3-fold repeat. \r
-All these options are saved in the winboard.ini file. \r
-\r
-/matchPause=10000 \r
-Determines the number of milliseconds that is paused between two games of a match. In the old WinBoard this was always 10 sec, which was inconveniently long in fast games. If you make the pause too short, tardy engines might get into trouble, though. Saved in the Winboard.ini.\r
-\r
-/zippyVariants="normal,fischerandom,crazyhouse,losers,suicide,3checks,twokings,bughouse,shatranj"\r
-This option already existed, (giving the varinats that an engine can play on an ICS), but now by default setting\r
-that icludes virtually all variants that WinBoard knows and that can be played on ICC. In this mode, however,\r
-WinBoard now also checks if the variant the ICS wants to play is supportd by the engine (i.e. if it occurs\r
-in the list given by the variant feature). Only for protocol-1 engines (which do not provide this info to WinBoard)\r
-you would need to restrict the number of variants to those the engine can play, to avoid accepting challenges\r
-the engine cannot handle.\r
-\r
-Clocks\r
-There is an "Options -> swap clocks" command, that swaps the position of white and black clocks (convenient in over-the-board matches, where the display is standing next to the board, and you want your own time to be displayed on your side of the screen). The clocks can be adjusted in "edit game" mode: right-clicking them adds one minute, left-clicking subtracts one minute. (Also for OTB matches, to keep them synchronized with the official match clock.) The flag-fell condition is now indicated as '(!)' behind the displayed time, to eliminate the necessity for overwriting the message in the title bar (which might contain indispensible information in match mode).\r
-\r
-/pgnExtendedInfo contains time (******** NEW IN 4.3.13 *********)\r
-If you selected this option in the "Options -> General..." menu, the search time is now also saved as a comment \r
-in the PGN file with every move, together with the depth/score info (which WinBoard_x already did). The time\r
-written is that reported by the engine if "Show Thinking" was on. If the engine does not give times,\r
-the WinBoard clock is used in stead.\r
-\r
-Other improvements / changes\r
-Castling rights and e.p. rights are now fully maintained, and considered in legality testing. They are imported from and written to FEN, as is the 50-move counter. (When reading an incomplete FEN they are still guessed, though.) \r
-The time (in sec, or min:sec) is now always stored together with the PV information to the PGN, if storing the latter was requested (through ticking "extended PGN info" in "Options -> General..."). The saved time is the WinBoard clock time (as opposed to the time reported by the engine).\r
-\r
-Options from the engine command line (******** NEW IN 4.3.13 *********)\r
-The command to startup the engine, as typed in the startup dialog box, or given to WinBoard in the \r
-/firstChessProgram or /secondChessProgram (/fcp, /scp) can now contain options that are not passed to the\r
-engine, but are interpreted by WinBoard. These would then overrule a similar option given in the winboard.ini\r
-or in the command line. Every engine option following an option 'WBopt' would be treated this way. As tournament\r
-managers use the /fcp and /scp options to pass the engines to WinBoard, this can be used to have engine-\r
-dependent settings of WinBoard during a tournament. For instance, if we are playing a tournament at 40/5' time\r
-control, but we want to accomodate an engine that only supports incremental time controls, we can install that engine in the tournament manager as "badengine.exe hashsize=128 WBopt /timeIncrement=3". Every time WinBoard\r
-would start up this engine, it would then use 5'+3" TC for that game.\r
- Options that apply to one engine only can also be passed this way. Such options contain 'first' or 'second' as\r
-part of their name, depending on the engine they should apply to. As a given engine will play some of its games\r
-as first and others as second during the tourney, to create an option that follows the engine, we need WinBoard\r
-to dynamically decide if it should use the 'first' or 'second' flavor of the option, depending on which\r
-engine startup command provided the option. This is indicated by letting the option contain '%s' in places\r
-where WinBoard should read 'first' or 'second'. For example "strongengine.exe WBopt /%sTimeOdds=10" would\r
-give the engine a time-odds factor of 10, whenever it plays, irrespective if it plays as first or second engine.\r
- Note that options that do not come in a 'first' or 'second' flavor can still be passed to only one engine by\r
-putting the WinBoard protocol commands in the init string. E.g., if we want to limit the search depth of\r
-a particular engine to 6 ply in all its games. we can give 'engine.exe WBopt /%sInitString="newnrandom\nsd 6\n"',\r
-so that only the applicable engine receives the 'sd 6' command.

-<SUP><P>K#</SUP> 			"For the ultimate WinBoard Experience"</P>\r
-</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#ff0000"><P>New features since WinBoard 4.2.7 that are implemented in Allessandro Scottis WinBoard_x are highlighted in red. </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000">New features in the WinBoard 4.3.xx series by H.G. Muller are highlighted in green.</P>\r
-</FONT><B><SUP><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2><P>K#</SUP> Description</P>\r
-</B><I><P>WinBoard</I> is a graphical user interface for chess. It displays a chessboard on the screen, accepts moves made with the mouse, and loads and saves game files in standard chess notation. WinBoard serves as a front-end for many different services, including:</P>\r
-\r
-<UL>\r
-<B><I><LI>Chess engines</B></I> that run on your PC. You can play a game against an engine, set up arbitrary positions, force variations, or watch a game between two engines. <I>GNU Chess</I> is supplied with WinBoard, and over 100 other free chess engines are available separately. Of these, Crafty is the most popular. See <U>Installing Chess Engines</U>InstallingChessEngines for instructions on installing additional chess engines.</LI>\r
-<B><I><LI>Chess servers</I> </B>on the Internet. You can play against other Internet Chess Server (ICS) users, observe games they are playing, review games in the ICS libraries, chat, and more. WinBoard can also be used to run an automated computer player on the ICS, but this feature is for advanced users only and is subject to some caveats; see the separate file zippy.README for information.</LI>\r
-<B><I><LI>The Web</B></I> and your own saved games. You can use WinBoard as a helper application to view files in your Web browser or the Explorer. You can use it to keep track of email postal games, browse games off the net, or review games you have saved.</LI></UL>\r
-\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP>Getting Started</P>\r
-</B><P>WinBoard starts up in one of three major modes: chess engine mode, ICS client mode, or game viewer mode. You cannot change modes while WinBoard is running, but you can access all the game viewer features directly from the other two modes. Also, you can start WinBoard several times to get multiple chessboard windows running in any combination of modes.</P>\r
-</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><P>You will usually run WinBoard by choosing an item from the Windows Start menu that runs it in the mode you want. If you just double-click on WinBoard.exe, you get a startup dialog asking which mode you want. If you choose chess engine mode, you can then select from the installed engines; if you choose ICS client mode, you can then select from a list of known chess servers. More advanced users can <U>customize</U>icsNames these lists or type in WinBoard <U>command line options</U>Options directly.</P>\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2><P>After starting WinBoard, you can make <SUP>K#</SUP>moves in several different ways. To move by dragging, press the left mouse button while the cursor is on one of your pieces, move the cursor to another square, and release the button. You can also move by clicking the left mouse button once (press and release) over one of your pieces, moving the cursor to another square, and clicking again. You drop new pieces on the board (when applicable) by selecting from a context menu. Press the right mouse button over a square to bring up the menu; no menu will come up in modes where dropping a new piece is not permitted. You can also make moves by typing them in standard algebraic chess notation. Either a dialog box will pop up for you to type into, or in ICS mode, your typing will be redirected into the ICS interaction window.</P>\r
-<P>When WinBoard<I> </I>is iconized, its <SUP>K#</SUP>icon is a white knight if it is White's turn to move, a black knight if it is Black's turn.</P>\r

After pressing OK, a new game is set up, using this position. The chosen position will continue to be used on every subsequent "New Game", </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000">even if you are playing a variant that normally is not shuffled, until you select a new variant through the "New Variant
" menu.</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#ff0000"> If you enter "-1" for the position number, new random number is drawn before every game.</P>\r
-</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"><P>The type of shuffling that is done in reaction to a given position number obeys restrictions that depend on the selected variant. In variants that allow castling, Kings remain on the central files, Rooks in the corners. In games with FRC-style castlings, the King starts between the Rooks, but apart from that they could be anywhere. In games without castling, there are no restrictions on King and Rook placement. Pairs of color-bound pieces (such as Bishops) will be placed on oppositely colored squares. In ICS mode this feature has no effect, as the ICS determines the starting position.</P>\r
-</FONT><B><SUP><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"><P>K#</SUP> New Variant</P>\r
-</B><P>Select a new variant. There are controls to enter a board width, board height and holdings size, but normally you leave them at -1, which means the default value for the selected variant will be used (e.g. 8x8 for normal Chess, 9x10 for xiangqi, 10x8 for capablanca, holdings for 5 pieces in crazyhouse). You can set a deviating value for each of the three parameters (e.g. to play a crazyhouse version of xiangqi or capablanca you would set the holdings to 6 or 7). If the board width deviates from the default, the game will start with an empty board. </P>\r
-<P>The variant will remain in force until you select a new one; i.e. subsequent "New Game" commands will start a new game of the same variant. In ICS mode this command has no effect, as the ICS determines which variant will be played.</P>\r
-</FONT><B><SUP><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2><P>K#</SUP> Load Game</P>\r
-</B><P>Plays a game from a record file. A popup dialog prompts you for the filename. If the file contains more than one game, a second popup dialog displays a list of games (with information drawn from their PGN tags, if any), and you can select the one you want.</P>\r
-<P>The game file parser will accept PGN (portable game notation), or in fact almost any file that contains moves in algebraic notation. Notation of the form <I>P@f7</I> is accepted for piece-drops in bughouse games; this is a nonstandard extension to PGN. If the file includes a PGN position (FEN tag), or a WinBoard position diagram bracketed by "[--" and "--]" before the first move, the game starts from that position. Text enclosed in parentheses, square brackets, or curly braces is assumed to be commentary and is displayed in a pop-up window. Any other text in the file is ignored. PGN variations (enclosed in parentheses) are treated as comments; WinBoard is not able to walk variation trees. The nonstandard PGN tag </FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2>[Variant "varname"]</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> functions similarly to the <U>variant</U>variant command-line option, allowing games in certain chess variants to be loaded. There is also a heuristic to recognize chess variants from the </FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2>Event</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> tag, by looking for the strings that the Internet Chess Servers put there when saving variant ("wild") games.</P>\r

WinBoard tries to be as universal as possible in understanding FENs when different standards are raound, but has to make a choice when writing them. In FRC is uses Shredder-FEN (Haha castling notation) , but it understands KQkq as the outermost Rook, so it also reads X-FEN. In Crazyhouse / Bughouse it appends the holdings immediately behind the board info between brackets [], but on input it also understands bFEN (which puts it behind a slash / as if it were an extra board rank). It uses a tilde ~ behind a piece to indicate it is really a promoted Pawn (like bFEN). In Shogi the holdings are printed like in Crazyhouse, but promoted pieces are represented by a plus sign + before the letter of the original piece. Letters used for the pieces can be set with the /pieceToCharTable command-line option.</P>\r

-<P>When you run WinBoard in ICS mode, it starts up a console window in which you can type commands and receive text responses from the chess server. You can use the standard Windows editing keys to edit your command line before pressing Enter. The console window keeps a history of the last few commands you typed. Press the up-arrow key to go back to a previous command; press the down-arrow key to go forward again to a later command. Press the right mouse button in the output area for a <U>context menu</U>ICSInteractionContextMenu of editing commands and ICS command shortcuts.</P>\r
-<P>Some useful ICS commands include <B>who</B> to see who is logged on, <B>games</B> to see what games are being played, <B>match</B> to challenge another player to a game, <B>observe</B> to observe an ongoing game, <B>examine</B> or <B>smoves</B> to review a recently completed game, and of course <B>help</B>. </P>\r
-<P>Whenever you ask to observe an ongoing game, review a completed game, or resume an adjourned game, WinBoard retrieves and parses the list of past moves from the ICS, so you can review them with <U>Forward</U>Forward and <U>Backward</U>Backward or save them with <U>Save Game</U>SaveGame.</P>\r
-<P>Some special ICS Client features are activated when you are in <B>examine</B> or <B>bsetup </B>mode on ICS. See the descriptions of the menu commands <U>Forward</U>Forward, <U>Backward</U>Backward, <U>Pause</U>Pause, and <U>Stop Examining</U>StopExamining below. You can also issue the ICS position-editing commands with the mouse. Move pieces by dragging with the left mouse button, or by left-clicking once on the starting square and once on the ending square. Press the right mouse button over a square for a context menu that lets you drop a new piece, empty the square, or clear the board. Click on the White or Black clock to set the side to play. You cannot set the side to play or drag pieces to arbitrary squares while examining on ICC, but you can do so in bsetup mode on FICS. You can also make moves by typing them into the ICS window; you may have to do this occasionally if you are playing a chess variant whose rules WinBoard does not understand, such as Fischer Random.</P>\r
-<P>If you are playing a bughouse game on the ICS, a list of the offboard pieces that each player holds is shown in the window title bar. To drop an offboard piece, press the right mouse button over an empty square to bring up a context menu. To observe your partner's games, start a second copy of WinBoard, log in as a guest, and use the ICS <B>follow</B> or <B>pfollow</B> command in the new window.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Edit Game</P>\r
-</B><P>Allows you to make moves for both Black and White, and to change moves after backing up with the <U>Backward</U>Backward command. The clocks do not run, but you can adjust their reading by clicking on them. A left-click subtracts one minute, a right-click adds one minute.</P>\r
-<P>In chess engine mode, the chess engine continues to check moves for legality but does not participate in the game. You can bring the chess engine back into the game by selecting <U>Machine White</U>MachineWhite, <U>Machine Black</U>MachineBlack, or <U>Two Machines</U>TwoMachines.</P>\r
-<P>In ICS mode, the moves are not sent to the ICS: Edit Game takes WinBoard out of ICS Client mode and lets you edit games locally. If you want to edit a game on ICS in a way that other ICS users can see, use the ICS <B>examine</B> command or start an ICS match against yourself.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Edit Position</P>\r
-</B><P>Lets you set up an arbitrary board position. Use the left mouse button to drag pieces 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 the right mouse button over the square. This brings up a menu of pieces. Additional menu choices let you empty the square or clear the board. You can set the side to play next by clicking on the White or Black indicator at the top of the screen. </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000">The pop-up menu also contains options to promote or demote the piece currently in the square. (In variants like Crazyhouse a piece has a different representation when it is a promoted Pawn rater than an original piece.) This allows you to create some of the not-so-common pieces (e.g. a Unicorn is a promoted King, a Commoner is a demoted King).</P>\r

-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Popup Exit Message</P>\r
-</B><P>If this option is on, when WinBoard wants to display a message just before exiting, it brings up a modal dialog box and waits for you to click OK before exiting. If the option is off, WinBoard prints exits immediately without showing the message. If <U>debugMode</U>debugMode is on, however, the message will appear in the debug log.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Popup Move Errors</P>\r
-</B><P>If this option is off, when you make an error in moving (such as attempting an illegal move or moving the wrong color piece), the error message is displayed in the message area. If the option is on, move errors are displayed in small popup windows like other errors. You can dismiss an error popup either by clicking its OK button or by clicking anywhere on the board, including downclicking to start a move.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Show Button Bar</P>\r
-</B><P>If Show Button Bar is on, WinBoard displays on-screen <U>buttons</U>BUTTONS to step forward, backward, or pause the game. If it is off, the buttons are hidden, making the message line wider.</P>\r

-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Show Thinking</P>\r
-</B><P>If this option is set, WinBoard displays the chess engines current search depth and its notion of the score and best line of play from the current position as it is thinking. The score indicates how many pawns ahead (or if negative, behind) the 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.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Test Legality</P>\r
-</B><P>If Test Legality is on, WinBoard tests whether the moves you enter with the mouse or read from game files are legal, and displays an error if they are not. Turn this option off if you are playing a chess variant that WinBoard does not understand. (Bughouse, suicide, and wild variants where the king may castle after starting on the <B>d</B> file are generally supported with Test Legality on. </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000">The same holds for variants with non-FIDE pieces, like shatranj, xangqi, shogi, gothic, capablanca, courier, knightmate: WinBoard knows how all pieces occurring in those variants move. Falcon, cylinder and berolina are only partly supported, though, and the latter two should definitely be played with legality testing off, and falcon uses a wildcard piece for the Falcons, so it considers any move of them legal, but might miss checkmates that involve a Falcon. So you should not play it with claim verification switched on.</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>)</P>\r

-</B><P>If this option is on, KBKB (with B on unlike color), KBKN, KNKN, KNNK, KRKR and KQKQ positions will be adjudicated draw after 6 ply. For KQKQ this is not really sound, and in the future it might be taken out of this option.

-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Auto Observe</P>\r
-</B><P>If Auto Observe is on and you add a player to your <B>gnotify</B> list on ICS, WinBoard 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. On most chess servers, you can now do <B>follow <I>player</B></I> instead, and the server will automatically observe all of <B><I>players</B></I> games.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Get Move List</P>\r
-</B><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
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Local Line Editing</P>\r
-</B><P>If Local Line Editing is <B>on</B>, your machine handles echoing, backspacing, etc., for the characters that you type into the ICS Interaction window. Output is forwarded to the ICS only when you hit Enter.The Enter key produces a newline character, also known as Ctrl+J, \n, LF, linefeed, or decimal ASCII code 10. In this mode you can force a control character into the edit buffer by preceding it with Ctrl+Q ("quote"); however, the edit buffer will not accept certain control characters even when they are quoted in this way. You can force a control character to be sent immediately to ICS, bypassing the edit buffer, by preceding it with Ctrl+S ("send").</P>\r
-<P>WinBoard keeps a history of lines you recently typed in Local Line Editing mode. You can bring back old lines by pressing the cursor up key in the text entry box. Press the cursor down key to go back down to newer lines.</P>\r
-<P>If Local Line Editing is <B>off</B>, all characters are sent to ICS as you type them. The Enter key produces a carriage return character, also known as Ctrl+M, \r, CR, or decimal ASCII code 13. Use Ctrl+Backspace if you need the ASCII DEL character. You can enter any character code by holding down the Alt key and typing its decimal value (always beginning with 0) on the numeric keypad; this is a little-known standard feature of Windows.</P>\r
-<P>In both modes, if WinBoard<I>s </I>internal telnet protocol implementation is active, it translates all \n characters to the standard telnet end-of-line sequence \r\n just before sending them out to ICS; see <U>telnetProgram</U>telnetProgram.</P>\r
-<P>It is generally not a good idea to turn off this option while connected to ICS. If you are tempted to do so because everything you type is being echoed an extra time, see the paragraph about extra echoes under <U>LIMITATIONS</U>LIMITATIONS below.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Quiet Play</P>\r
-</B><P>If Quiet Play is on, WinBoard will automatically issue an ICS <B>set shout 0</B> command whenever you start a game and a <B>set shout 1</B> command whenever you finish one. Thus you will not be distracted by shouts from other ICS users while playing.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> Premove</P>\r
-</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><P>Premove allows you to play a move on the board before you have received your opponents move.

-</FONT><B><SUP><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2><P>K#</SUP> ICS Interaction Colors</P>\r

The types distinguished are: shout, sshout, channel 1 tell, other channel tell, kibitz (or whisper), personal tell (or new message notification), challenge, request (including abort, adjourn, draw, pause, and takeback), seek, and normal (all other messages).</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> <U>Fonts</P>\r

The tags font, comments font and ICS Interaction font are not dependent on the current size of the board. 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
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> <U>Sounds</P>\r
-</B></U><P>Lets you change the sounds that WinBoard plays for various events.</P>\r
-<SUP><P>K#</SUP>If the Move sound is on, WinBoard 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. If you turn on the Move sound when using WinBoard with the Internet Chess Server, you will probably want to give the <B>set bell 0</B> command to the ICS. Otherwise the ICS will send a bell character after every move (not just yours), causing WinBoard to play the ICS Bell sound too. Alternatively, you could turn off the ICS Bell sound in WinBoard, but that might cause you to miss ICS alerts for other interesting events.</P>\r

-</B><P>All WinBoard options can be set either on the command line (if you start WinBoard by typing into an MSDOS Prompt box), in the Properties/Shortcut/Target box of a Windows shortcut, in a <U>settings file</U>settings, or in the Additional Options box of the WinBoard startup dialog. Exactly the same syntax is used in all four places. Most options can also be set from the menus and saved using <U>Save Settings Now</U>SaveSettings or <U>Save Settings on Exit</U>SaveSettingsOnExit, so most people will not need to read this section.</P>\r
-<P>Most options have two names, a long one that is easy to read and a short one that is easy to type. To turn on a boolean (true/false) option <I>opt</I>, you can just give its short name preceded by a minus sign or slash (-<I>opt</I> or /<I>opt</I>); to turn one off, prefix the short name by an "x" or an extra minus sign (-x<I>opt</I> or /-<I>opt</I>). To set any other kind of option, or to set a boolean option using its long name, give the value after the name, separated by a space, colon, or equal sign. (-<I>opt</I> 23 or /<I>option</I>:true). If a string option contains spaces or special characters, enclose it in double quotes and use the \ quoting convention of C to name the special characters. Alternatively, you can enclose a string value in curly braces (/opt={string}), as long as the value does not contain a closing curly brace. If a filename option contains spaces, enclose it in either single or double quotes. In filename options, the \ character is not treated specially, so use single quotes around the outside of the value if it has double quotes inside (and vice versa).</P>\r
-<P>When you start WinBoard, it will pop up the Startup dialog box unless you provide sufficient options on the command line for WinBoard to determine which major mode to be in and what engines to use or chess server to connect to. To bypass this box, you must at minimum give one of the three options <U>/cp</U>cp, /<U>ics</U>ics, or /<U>ncp</U>ncp. If you give the /cp option, you must also give the /<U>fcp</U>fcp and /<U>scp</U>scp options. If you give the /ics option, you must also give the /<U>icshost</U>icshost option.</P><DIR>\r

-</B></I><P>If true, puts WinBoard in chess engine mode. In this mode, you can play against a chess program running on your PC or use it as an analysis partner.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP>/tc </B>or<B> <SUP>K#</SUP>/timeControl <I>minutes[:seconds]</P>\r
-</B></I><P>Each player begins with his clock set to the timeControl period. Default: 5 minutes. The additional options movesPerSession and timeIncrement are mutually exclusive.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP>/mps </B>or<B> <SUP>K#</SUP>/movesPerSession <I>moves</P>\r
-</B></I><P>When both players have made movesPerSession moves, a new timeControl period is added to both clocks. Default: 40 moves.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP>/inc </B>or<B> <SUP>K#</SUP>/timeIncrement <I>seconds</P>\r
-</B></I><P>If this option is specified, movesPerSession is ignored. Instead, after each player's move, timeIncrement seconds are added to his clock. Use -timeIncrement 0 if you want to require the entire game to be played in one timeControl period, with no increment. Default: -1, which specifies movesPerSession mode.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> /clock </B>or <B>/xclock</B>, or<B> <SUP>K#</SUP> /clockMode <I>true|false</P>\r
-</B></I><P>Determines whether or not to display the chess clocks. If clockMode is False, the clocks are not shown, but the side that is to play next is still highlighted. Also, unless searchTime is set, the chess engine still keeps track of the clock time and uses it to determine how fast to make its moves.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> /st </B>or<B> <SUP>K#</SUP> /searchTime <I>minutes[:seconds]</P>\r
-</B></I><P>Tells the chess engine to spend at most the given amount of time searching for each of its moves. Without this option, the engine chooses its search time based on the number of moves and amount of time remaining until the next time control. Setting this option also sets clockMode to False.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> /depth </B>or<B> <SUP>K#</SUP> /searchDepth <I>number</P>\r
-</B></I><P>Tells the chess engine to look ahead at most the given number of moves when searching for a move to make. Without this option, the engine chooses its search depth based on the number of moves and amount of time remaining until the next time control. With the option, the engine will cut off its search early if it reaches the specified depth.</P>\r
-</FONT><B><SUP><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"><P>K#</SUP> /firstNPS <I>number</P>\r
-</I><SUP><P>K#</SUP> /secondNPS <I>number</P>\r
-</B></I><P>Tells the chess engine to use an internal time standard based on its node count, rather then wall-clock time, to make its time decisions. The time in virtual seconds should be obtained by dividing the node count through the given <I>number</I>, like the number was a rate in nodes per second. WinBoard will manage the clocks in accordance with this, relying on the number of nodes reported by the engine in its thinking output. If <I>number</I> equals zero, it can obviously bnot be used to convert nodes to seconds, and the time reported by the engine is used to decrement the WinBoard clock. The engine is supposed to report in CPU time it uses, rather than wall-clock time in this mode. Tis option can provide fairer conditions fo engine-engine matches on heavily loaded machines, or with very fast games (where the wall clock is too inaccurate). "Show Thinking" must be on for this option to work. Not many engines might support this yet!</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> /firstTimeOdds <I>factor</P>\r
-</I><SUP><P>K#</SUP> /secondTimeOdds <I>factor</P>\r
-</B></I><P>Reduces the time given to the mentioned engine by the given <I>factor</I>. If pondering is off, the effect is indistinguishable from what would happen if the engine was running on a <I>factor</I> times slower machine.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> /timeOddsMode <I>mode</P>\r
-</B></I><P>This option determines how the case is handled when both engines have a time-odds handicap. If mode=1, the engine that gets the most time will always get the nominal time, as specified by the time-control options, and its opponents time is normalized similarly. If mode=0, both play with reduced time.</P>\r

If the <U>loadGameFile</U>loadGameFile or <U>loadPositionFile</U>loadPositionFile option is set, WinBoard will start each game with the given opening moves or the given position; otherwise, the games will start with the standard initial chess position. If the <U>saveGameFile</U>saveGameFile option is set, a move record for the match will be appended to the specified file. If the <U>savePositionFile</U>savePositionFile option is set, the final position reached in each game of the match will be appended to the specified file. When the match is over, WinBoard will display the match score and exit. Default: 0 (do not run a match).</P>\r

-</B></I><P>Sets the length of the pause between games in match mode to <I>number</I> msec. Default value is 10000, i.e. 10 sec. (If this pause is too short, engines not implementing ping will sometimes send the last move of their previous game only when a new game has started, at which time the move is illegal, and causes them to forfeit the game.)</P>\r

-</B></SUP><P>Names of the chess engines and working directories in which they are to be run. The second chess engine is started only in Two Machines (match) mode. These arguments are parsed as filenames; that is, the \ character is interpreted literally, not as a C-style escape.</P>\r
-<P>The <I>dir</I> argument specifies the initial working directory for the chess engine. It should usually be the directory where the engine and its working files are installed. If <I>dir</I> is not an absolute pathname, it is interpreted relative to the directory from which WinBoard.exe itself was loaded. The <I>dir</I> argument is ignored if the chess engine is being run on a remote machine (see firstHost and secondHost below). The default value for <I>dir </I>"", meaning that the chess engine is expected to be installed in the same directory as WinBoard.</P>\r
-<P>The <I>command</I> argument is actually the command line to the chess engine, so if the engine itself needs command line arguments, you can include them by enclosing <I>command</I> in single or double quotes. If the engine name or an engine argument has a space in it, use single quotes around the whole <I>command, </I>and inside them use double quotes around each item that contains spaces. If the engine name has more than one period in it (for example, </FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2>QChess1.5.exe</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>), you must include the "</FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2>.exe</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>" extension; otherwise you can leave it out. The default value for <I>command</I> is "", which brings up the startup dialog to ask which engines you want.</P>\r

-</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"><P>The basic rule is thus that what is inside the quotes delimiting the argument to /fcp and /scp, all goes to the engine, and is ignored by WinBoard. WinBoard 4.3.13 and later, however, knows an exception to this: If, within the quotes, the word WBopt appears, everything that follows this word will be interpreted as a WinBoard argument, in stead of being passed to the engine on startup of the latter. (The WBopt itself is also not passed to the engine.) This possibility of hiding WinBoard arguments in the engine command is provided in order to create options that follow the engine in a tournament, when a tournament manager like PSWBTM is used to invoke WinBoard. Because, in order to apply to a given engine, some options need to know if they apply to first or second engine, which might vary during the tournament, options hidden inside the engine command-line can contain %s which will be replaced at the time the option is used by first or second, as applicable.</P>\r

-</B></I><P>Hosts on which the chess engines are to run. The default for each is "localhost". If you specify another host, WinBoard<I> </I>uses <U>rsh</U>rsh to run the chess program there. The /fd and /sd flags do not work in conjunction with these flags; if you need a remote chess engine to run somewhere other than your default login directory on the remote machine, you will have to include a "cd" command in the argument to /fcp or /scp.</P>\r

-</I><SUP>K#</SUP> /secondInitString <I>string</P>\r
-</B></I><P>The strings that are sent to initialize the chess engines. Default: "new\nrandom\n". The "\n" sequences represent newlines. You can type "\n" on the command line or in a <U>settings file</U>settings, and WinBoard will convert it to a newline.</P>\r
-<P>All chess engines require the "new" command to start a new game.</P>\r
-<P>You can remove the "random" command if you like; including it causes GNU Chess to randomize its move selection slightly so that it doesn't play the same moves in every game. Even without "random", GNU Chess randomizes its choice of moves from its opening book. You can also try adding other commands to the initString; see the GNU Chess documentation (gnuchess.txt) for details. Crafty ignores the "random" command; see its documentation for the commands it accepts.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP> /firstComputerString <I>string<BR>\r
-</I><SUP>K#</SUP> /secondComputerString <I>string</P>\r
-</B></I><P>If the chess engine is playing against another computer program (whether locally or on a chess server), by default the command "computer\n" is sent to it. Some chess engines change their playing style when they receive this command. If you do not want the engine to know when it is playing another computer, you can set the string to "".</P>\r
-</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"><P>Note that the computer string is sent to the engine after most other initialization commands, and is thus ideal for hiding a WinBoard-protocol command in that should be sent only to one engine, when the WinBoard option that normally specifies this command cannot be differentiated by engine, but s always sent to both engines. E.g. if you want one of the engines to ponder, and the other not. Because it is sent last, in can overrule earlier commands.</P>\r

-</B></I><P>In games between two chess programs, the firstChessProgram normally plays white. (This is a change from earlier versions of WinBoard.) If this option is True, firstChessProgram plays black. In a multi-game match, this option affects the colors only for the first game; they still alternate in subsequent games.</P>\r

-</B></I><P>If this option is True (the default), WinBoard<I> </I>uses the same chess engine process repeatedly when playing multiple games. If the option is False, WinBoard kills off the chess engine after every game and starts a fresh one for the next game. Starting a fresh chess engine can be slow, so it is not recommended. However, some chess engines may not work properly when reused, such as versions of Crafty earlier than 12.0.</P>\r
-<B><SUP><P>K#</SUP>/firstProtocolVersion <I>ver<BR>\r
-</I><SUP>K#</SUP>/secondProtocolVersion <I>ver</P>\r
-</B></I><P>This option specifies which version of the chess engine communication protocol to use. By default, version-number is 2. In version 1, the "protover" command is not sent to the engine; since version 1 is a subset of version 2, nothing else changes. Other values for version-number are not supported.</P>\r

-<P>Warning: Because Save Settings overwrites the last settings file (usually WinBoard.ini) and only saves a subset of WinBoard's options, you should not add settings of more options to such a file with a text editor. If you do this, your additional options will be lost on the next Save Settings. You can change the values of existing settings freely, using Notepad or any plain text editor.

-<SUP><P>K$#+</SUP> INSTALLING CHESS ENGINES</P>\r
-<P>Introduction</P>\r
-</B><P>WinBoard is capable of operating with many different chess engines. You can play chess against a compatible engine, set up matches between two engines, or (advanced users only) run an automated computer player on an ICS.</P>\r
-<P>Typically, the main difficulty in installing a new chess engine for use by WinBoard comes in getting the engine itself running and setting its options appropriately. The connection to WinBoard is relatively straightforward.</P>\r
-<P>WinBoard-compatible chess engines are Win32 command line programs that you can run by hand in an MS-DOS Prompt box and type human-readable commands to. WinBoard connects to an engine simply by starting the engine up in the background and communicating with it through a pair of pipes. Therefore the basic procedure for installing an engine is:</P>\r
-<P>1. Get a copy of the engine and any supporting files it needs.</P>\r
-<P>2. Install and configure the engine as a command-line program by following the instructions that come with it. Try it out by running it from the command line in an MS-DOS Prompt box and make sure it works.</P>\r
-<P>3. Optional, but recommended: Try out the WinBoard plus engine combination by running WinBoard with the proper command line arguments in an MS-DOS Prompt box.</P>\r
-<P>4. Create a shortcut on your desktop or Start menu to run the engine with WinBoard.</P>\r
-<P>5. Optionally edit your WinBoard.ini file to add the engine to the drop-down lists on WinBoard's startup dialog.</P>\r
-<P>This document cannot explain steps 1 and 2 in detail for all engines, but we will take you through all five steps in outline, using Crafty as an example.</P>\r
-<B><P>Example: Crafty</P>\r
-</B><P>1. Choose a directory to put Crafty in. We'll use </FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2>C:\Program Files\Crafty</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> in this example. Download your copy of Crafty into this directory from its author's FTP site, </FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2>ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>.

-<SUP><P>K#$+</SUP></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=1> </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>FIREWALLS</P>\r
-</B><P>By default, "WinBoard /ics"<I> </I>communicates with an Internet Chess Server by opening a TCP socket directly from the machine it is running on to the ICS. If there is a firewall between your machine and the ICS, this won't work. Here are some recipes for getting around common kinds of firewalls using special options to WinBoard<I>.</I> Important: See the paragraph in the <U>LIMITATIONS</U>LIMITATIONS section below about extra echoes.</P>\r
-<P>Suppose that you can't telnet directly to ICS, but you can telnet to a firewall host, log in, and then telnet from there to ICS. Let's say the firewall is called fire.wall.com. Set command-line options as follows: </P><DIR>\r
-\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2><P>WinBoard -ics -icshost fire.wall.com -icsport 23</P></DIR>\r
-\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2><P>Then when you run WinBoard<I> </I>in ICS mode, you will be prompted to log in to the firewall host. (This works because port 23 is the standard telnet login service.) Do so, then telnet to ICS, using a command like "telnet chessclub.com 5000", or whatever command the firewall provides for telnetting to port 5000.</P>\r
-<P>If your firewall lets you telnet (or rlogin) to remote hosts, but doesn't let you telnet to port 5000, you will have to find some other host outside the firewall that does let you do this, and hop through it. For instance, suppose you have an account at foo.edu. Follow the recipe above, but instead of typing "telnet chessclub.com 5000" to the firewall, type "telnet foo.edu" (or "rlogin foo.edu"), log in there, and then type "telnet chessclub.com 5000".</P>\r
-<P>Exception: chessclub.com itself lets you connect to the chess server on the default telnet port (23), which is what you get if you dont specify a port to the telnet program. But the other chess servers dont allow this.</P>\r
-<P>Suppose that you can't telnet directly to ICS, but you can use rsh to run programs on a firewall host, and that host can telnet to ICS. Let's say the firewall is called rsh.wall.com. Set command-line options as follows: </P><DIR>\r
-\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2><P>WinBoard -ics -gateway rsh.wall.com -icshost chessclub.com</P></DIR>\r
-\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2><P>Then when you run WinBoard<I> </I>in ICS mode, it will connect to the ICS by using rsh to run the command "telnet chessclub.com 5000" on host rsh.wall.com.</P>\r
-<P>ICC timestamp and FICS timeseal do not work through many<B> </B>firewalls. You can use them only if your firewall gives a clean TCP connection with a full 8-bit wide path. If your firewall allows you to get out only by running a special telnet program, you can't use timestamp or timeseal across it. But if you have access to a computer just outside your firewall, and you have much lower netlag when talking to that computer than to the ICS, it might be worthwhile running timestamp there. Follow the instructions above for hopping through a host outside the firewall (foo.edu in the example), but run timestamp or timeseal on that host instead of telnet.</P>\r
-<P>Suppose that you have a SOCKS firewall that requires you to go through some extra level of authentication, but after that will give you a clean 8-bit wide TCP connection to the chess server. In that case, if you are using timestamp or timeseal, you need to somehow socksify it; if not, you need to socksify WinBoard itself. Socksification is beyond the scope of this document, but see the SOCKS Web site at http://www.socks.nec.com/how2socksify.html.</P>\r

-</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2><P>WinBoard<I> </I>is a Win32 application. It runs only on Windows NT and Windows 95. It does not work on Windows 3.11 or earlier, even with the Win32s compatibility package.</P>\r
-<I><P>CMail, </I>the companion program to xboard for playing electronic mail correspondence chess, has not been ported to Win32.</P>\r
-<P>There is no way for two people running copies of WinBoard<I> </I>to play each other without going through the Internet Chess Server.</P>\r
-<P>Under some circumstances, your ICS password may be echoed when you log on.</P>\r
-<P>If you are connecting to the ICS by running telnet, timestamp, or timeseal on an Internet provider host, you may find that each line you type is echoed back an extra time after you hit Enter. You can probably turn this echo off. If your Internet provider is a Unix system, type "</FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2>stty -echo</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>" after you log in to the provider but before you run telnet, timestamp, or timeseal. In addition, you may need to type the sequence "</FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2>Ctrl+Q Ctrl+E Enter</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>" after you have finished logging in to ICS. On VMS, type "</FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2>set terminal /noecho /nowrap</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>", and after you telnet to the ICS, type "</FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=2>Ctrl+Q Ctrl+] Enter set mode char Enter Enter</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>". It is a good idea to turn off the extra remote echo if you can, because otherwise it can get interleaved with output from the ICS and confuse WinBoard's parsing routines. Dont just turn off <U>Local Line Editing</U>localLineEditing so that you see only the remote echo and not the local one; that will make the interleaving problem worse.</P>\r
-<P>The game parser recognizes only algebraic notation (SAN).</P>\r
-<P>The <U>ICS logon</U>ICSLogon file does not work properly when you connect to ICS through a Unix gateway host by setting <U>icsPort</U>icsPort to 23. The Unix login process apparently discards type-ahead.</P>\r
-<P>Some WinBoard functions may not work with versions of GNU Chess earlier than 4.0, patchlevel 77. The current version of WinBoard<I> </I>works best with Crafty version 15.11 or later.</P>\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"><P>Many of the following points used to be limitations in WinBoard 4.2.7 and earlier, but are now fixed:</P>\r
-<P>The internal move legality tester in WinBoard 4.3.xx does look at the game history, and is fully aware of castling or en passant-capture rights. </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>It permits castling with the king on the <B>d</B> file because this is possible in some "wild 1" games on ICS. The piece-drop menu does not check piece drops in bughouse to see if you actually hold the piece you are trying to drop.</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"> But this way of dropping pieces should be considered an obsolete feature, now that pieces can be dropped by dragging them from the holdings to the board. </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>Anyway, if you would attempt an illegal move when using a chess engine or the ICS,</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"> </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>WinBoard will accept the error message that comes back, undo the move, and let you try another.</P>\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"><P>FEN positions saved by WinBoard<I> </I>do include correct information about whether castling or en passant are legal, and also handle the 50-move counter.</P>\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2><P>The mate detector does not understand that non-contact mate is not really mate in bughouse.</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"> </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>The only problem this causes while playing is minor: a "#" (mate indicator) character will show up after a non-contact mating move in the move list. WinBoard will not assume the game is over at that point,</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"> not even when the option Detect Mates is on.</P>\r
-<P>Edit Game mode always uses the rules of the selected variant, which can be a variant that uses piece drops. You can load and edit games that contain piece drops. The (obsolete) piece menus are not active, but you can perform piece drops by dragging pieces from the holdings.</P>\r
-<P>Edit Position mode does not allow you to edit the Crazyhouse holdings properly. You cannot drag pieces to the holding, and using the popup menu to put pieces there does not adapt the holding counts and leads to an inconsistent state. Set up Crazyhouse positions by loading / pasting a bFEN, from there you can set the holdings.</P>\r
-<P>Fischer Random castling is fully understood. You can enter castlings by dragging the King on top of your Rook. You can probably also play Fischer Random successfully on ICS by typing castling moves into the ICS Interaction window.</P>\r

-</B><P>WinBoard is partly based on <I>xboard</I>, a chessboard program for Unix and the X Window System. Tim Mann has been responsible for all versions of WinBoard,<I> </I>and for xboard versions 1.3 and beyond. </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000">H.G.Muller is responsible for version 4.3.</P>\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2><P>Mark Williams added many features to WinBoard 4.1.0, including copy/paste, premove, icsAlarm, autoFlipView, training mode, auto raise, and blindfold. Hugh Fischer added piece animation to xboard, and Henrik Gram added it to WinBoard. Frank McIngvale contributed many xboard<I> </I>user interface improvements and improved Crafty support. Jochen Wiedmann ported xboard<I> </I>to the Amiga, creating <I>AmyBoard</I>, and converted the documentation to texinfo. Elmar Bartel contributed the new piece bitmaps for version 3.2. Evan Welsh wrote <I>CMail. </I>John Chanak contributed the initial implementation of ICS mode. The default color scheme was adapted from Wayne Christopher's <I>XChess </I>program. Chris Sears and Dan Sears wrote the original xboard<I>. </I>They were responsible for xboard<I> </I>versions 1.0 through 1.2. </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#ff0000">Allessandro Scotti added many elements to the user interface, including the board textures and font-based rendering, the evaluation-graph, move-history and engine-output window. He was also responsible for adding the UCI support.</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000">H.G. Muller made WinBoard castling- and e.p.-aware, added variant support with adjustable board sizes, the Crazyhouse holdings, and the fairy pieces. In addition he added most of the adjudication options, made WinBoard ore robust in dealing with buggy and crashing engines, and extended time control with a time-odds and node-count-based modes.</P>\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2><P>Send bug reports to <bug-xboard@gnu.org>. Please run WinBoard with the /debug option and include the output from the resulting WinBoard.debug file in your message.</P>\r
-</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#008000"><P>The WinBoard 4.3.xx line is being developed by H.G. Muller independently of the GNU Savannah xboard project. Bug reports on this version, and suggestions for improvements and additions, are best posted in the WinBoard forum, development section (http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum).</P>\r
