I recently optained gnuchess-3.1.tar.Z and compiled xchess and gnuchess 
on the system (DEC Station 5000).  I encountered the following problem 
with xchess.

Problem:
  On a black and white X terminal the shaded squares turned white if 
  there was a piece on them and the piece turned shaded (black pieces 
  turned shaded and white pieces had a broken outline).

Patch:
  In the window.c file changing the following two lines will let pieces
  on a shaded square look solid instead of broken up and will keep the 
  square shaded instead of changing it to white.

  change line 214 from GXandInverted); to GXorInverted);
  change line 224 from GXor); to GXequiv);
