A new version of GNU Chess is on prep. It rolls back to the much
heralded (on this group at least) gnuchess 3.1. But in short matches,
this version of 4.0 has beaten 3.1 by a small margin. Except for bug
fixes, interface enhancements, the improved compatibility with xboard,
and timing control improvements, this version should play at a level
very similar.

Recently, this version played a game versus Fidelity Travelmaster
which is a rated expert and crushed the Travelmaster. It is unlikely
GNU could have done this had the code been buggy and/or the strength
weak.

So please download this version and replace your current version.  For
all the people who wrote in with complaints about strength of 4.0, now
is the time to get this version and try out your favorite openings and
tactics.
