I did a double take when I read this: taking "a step backwards" would
tend to imply that I did something to make things worse... :-)
What I did do was to "step back" from involvement in the GNU Chess
project at the time version 5 came out. I actually was never more
than a very minor contributor to GNU Chess 4's code; I maintained
the FAQ and submitted a few patches to fix problems in interacting
with xboard. When version 5 came out, since I didn't know the answers
to any questions about version 5 and was short on time besides, I
withdrew as FAQ maintainer.
I'll bet Stuart would still like to find a new FAQ maintainer; any
volunteers should contact him!

Just a few small changes, pretty much the same kind of thing I used to
do for GNU Chess 4.
