+Next to the main window, WinBoard does use many auxiliary windows for dedicated tasks. We mention the Engine-Output window (formerly analysis window) for a better display of the thinking output of engines (which you can then right-click to play out the selected PV in the board window), the Game-History window (where the game is displayed in SAN, and where you can double-click a move to call up the corresponding position in the board window), the Evaluation Graph window (where you see a graph of engine scores vs. move number, and can call up the corresponding position in the board window by clicking a point on the graph), the Comment popup (where you can right-click variation comments to play them out on the main board, or add and edit comments), the Game-List window (where you see an overview of all games in a game file you loaded, and can select a game for loading by clicking on it, and limit the list to games you are interested in by filtering).

Notation of the form P@f7 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 [Variant "varname"] functions similarly to the variant command-line option, allowing games in certain chess variants to be loaded. There is also a heuristic to recognize chess variants from the Event tag, by looking for the strings that the Internet Chess Servers put there when saving variant ("wild") games.

If you edit an existing game locally by playing new moves while not at the end, you will create a new variation. (New moves at the end will simply be appended to the existing game.) WinBoard will then shelve the original variation (‘main line’) from beyond the point where you played a new move. You can later revert to that new line with the Revert or Annotate commands. This will discard the variation you just entered, and restores the moves of the original main line that you overwrote. This procedure can be applied recursively, so you an make (sub-)variations on variations. Rather than entering variations move by move, you can also recall them from PGN variations in the Comment window, by right-clicking those.

Edit Position

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. 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).

If loadGameFile is set, WinBoard reads the specified game file at startup. You can leave out the name of this option and give just the file name, which is handy if you want to configure WinBoard as a game viewer with a browser such as the Windows Explorer or Netscape. The filename is interpreted relative to WinBoard's initial working directory. The filename "-" specifies the standard input. If there is more than one game in the file, WinBoard pops up a menu of the available games, with entries based on their PGN tags. If loadGameIndex is set to N, the menu is suppressed and the Nth game found in the file is loaded immediately. +A game index of –1 will load the first game, but step to the next game on each new game in Match Mode. Similarly, an index of –2 will step to the next game every two games, so that all games are played by each player with both colors.

    You can now use two special insert texts “chat” and “none” in the entry definitions. In stead of being sent to the ICS, WinBoard will recognize them as special cases (they are not valid ICS commands anyway). “Chat” will open a chat box for the handle you clicked on, “none” will define a disabled entry (usually used with an item name of spaces), which you could put in the position of the menu that pops up under your mouse pointer, so there would be no default action when you up-click without moving the mouse first.

    /pieceToCharTable characterstring

    The characters that are used to represent the piece types WinBoard knows in FEN diagrams and SAN moves. The string argument has to have an even length (or it will be ignored), as white and black pieces have to be given separately (in that order). The last letter for each color will be the King. The letters before that will be PNBRQ and then a whole host of fairy pieces in an order that has not fully crystallized yet (currently FEACWMOHIJGDVSLU, F=Ferz, Elephant, A=Archbishop, C=Chancellor, W=Wazir, M=Commoner, O=Cannon, H=Nightrider). You should list at least all pieces that occur in the variant you are playing. If you have less than 44 characters in the string, the pieces not mentioned will get assigned a period, and you will not be able to distinguish them in FENs. You can also explicitly assign pieces a period, in which case they will not be counted in deciding which captured pieces can go into the holdings.
