I just finished my game with gnuchess-4.0.pl60 and won!  This version
of gnuchess seems to have fixed the bugs I had with 3.1.  Also, I like
xboard much better than xchess.  Gnuchess-3.1 refused to respond to my
move #17 of Nb3; it thought for over 24 hours before I killed it.
Gnuchess-4.0 responded almost immediately, so I could finish my game.

I must say, I'm a little disappointed that gnuchess allowed my to
checkmate it so easily.  It chose to take a pawn instead of preventing
the checkmate.  Someone may want to look at this, it might be a bug.

Here's my game.  It's half in english and half algebraic notation
because I changed from gnuchess-3.1/xchess to gnuchess-4.0/xboard
in the middle.
