   I would like to use gnuan for analyzing games that are not played with
   gnuchess. I have replayed a game with xboard and saved it. But the format
   of the xboard file cannot be read by gnuan. Does anybody know how to convert
   this?

   Thomas Sturm, sturm@alice.fmi.uni-passau.de

When I tried this, the only problem with XBoard's output was that it used 
notation of the type "Nbd7" to avoid ambiguities, and gnuan didn't know 
what to do with this.  Seems to me, then, that the problem is with gnuan not
reading its input sensibly.  Making a convertor for Xboard's output would
take a while, because you have to know where all the pieces are to interpret
"Nbd7".  But I imagine that there is already stuff written.
