+The GNU Shogi distribution also contains the 'xshogi' program, an
+X-Window graphical interface to gnushogi.  XShogi was forked off GNU
+XBoard years ago, is far from today's UI standards, and has barely
+been maintained recently, while XBoard has grown much and is able to
+play Shogi.  In future versions, GNU Shogi will be able to use XBoard
+as a GUI and XShogi will be retired.
 
 Since xshogi invokes gnushogi, most players will just type ``xshogi''
 and start playing.
