I'd like to plead for the addition of a new, very simple, feature to
xboard.  

It seems the simplest way to use xboard as a chess board on which I can
show a game to my office-mate, or on which I can read through an annotated
game just posted on r.g.c., is by selecting ForceMoves in the Mode menu.
This seems quite complex, and leaves me with a waiting gnuchessx in the
background.  Surely, there should exist a less indirect way, especially
because xboard itself is able to check legality of moves. (BTW, it would
sometimes be useful to inhibit checking legality.)

I first used xboard as an interface for chess playing programs
(e.g. gnuchess).  Now that I use it in more general contexts, especially
since ICS times, I'd like it to evolve towards a more general tool.

[Tim, much thanks for a truly great software tool !]
