Some time back, I submitted to this group some patches that did two things
for gnuchess: (1) Fixed a bug in the ListGame() procedure in uxdsp.c and
nuxdsp.c, and (2) Allowed a user to verufy desire for a game listing and
also specify a possible alternative to the filename, "~/chess.lst". The
second was a matter of personal preference. Perhaps because of the second
part, the first part was not present in 3.1+, but the bug that it fixes
was still present. For those that wonder, here is a listing of the first
3 moves of a Ruy Lopez line, from an unmodified uxdsp.c:ListGame:

       score  depth   nodes  time                score  depth   nodes  time
          e2e4      0      0       0     2
 e7e5      0      0       0     0          g1f3      0      0       0     8
 b8c6      0      0       0     0          f1b5      0      0       0    20
 d7d6      0      0       0     0

Here is a listing, after the patch is applied:

       score  depth   nodes  time                score  depth   nodes  time
 e2e4      0      0       0     6          e7e5      0      0       0     7
 g1f3      0      0       0    10          b8c6      0      0       0     1
 f1b5      0      0       0     4          d7d6      0      0       0     8


In my opinion, the difference between these two listings is not nit-picking.
Additionally, the program to translate various notation styles, posted
severl months back, obviously cannot read the former version. It is my
hope that these diffs, sans the listing verification process, will get
through to the author(s) of gnuchess.
