I wonder if somebody on the net can throw some light on my problem with 
gnuchess/xboard ? Yesterday I compiled gnuchess version 4 pl 61 together with
xboard version 2.1 pl 17 and both seemed to compile ok and produced binaries
that function.

The problem I have is that if I run xboard it sets up a game for me and I can
select to play the computer, but it doesn't seem to know the rules. I am told
that perfectly valid moves, such as moving a pawn two squares forward is an
illegal move and when I used the -debug true option to I noticed that xboard
seemed to be pronouncing some of gnuchess's moves illegal (this causes the 
game to time out, as gnuchess refuses to make an alternative move). Can anyone
explain what is happenning here ? Is it possible for me to turn off rule
checking from xboard. I know that -ncp true will do this, but I'd like to
play against gnuchess.

Any help would be gratefully received.

	Regards,
