I am a _REALLY_ new chess player.  I have gnuchess and xboard on my
system and I am interested in learning a bit about chess through playing
against it before playing humans (through ICS or live).  The problem is
that it kicks my butt every time.  Is there a way to set gnuchess or
xboard so that it plays more on my level, or do I just have to learn
what I can before the inevitable checkmate?  I've kind of looked at
"search depth" and "search time", but I'm not sure what effect these
have.
