Can someone help me out?  I ftped gnuchess from one of the archive sites and 
compiled it.  I got 4 executables in my BSD UNIX account: gnuchess, gnuchessn,
gnuchessr, and xchess.

gnuchess and gnuchessn work fine.  They have low level character graphics.
But gnuchessr is supposed to be the xwindows version.  When I run it I just 
get:
Chess
And no graphics.  I can then play a completely text version of gnuchess, i.e.
if I type in e2e4 the computer responds with its move.  

I can also run xchess and then I get a beautiful chess board on my NCD terminal
but I have to play both teams, i.e. it isn't talking to gnuchess.  Can 
someone tell me how to get xchess and gnuchessr to talk to each other?

Use your discretion as to whether I'm making such a silly mistake that it 
would be a waste of bandwidth to post rather than email your response.

Some people also don't know how to make and use .sig files such as
