If you want to use xboard as a front end for GNU Chess, you must have GNU
Chess too, and it must be in a directory on your Unix $PATH.  See the FAQ
(recently posted here, and also included with the xboard sources) for
information about how to get GNU Chess.

If you want to use xboard for some other purpose, such as an ICS interface,
you must give the right command line flags.  For use with ICS, you need at
least the -ics flag.  See the documentation included with xboard.

Not for xboard.
