I was playing xchess one day, when, to my suprise, I mated it. Unfortunately, it didn't want to give up and admit that it had lost. So, instead, it went into a seemingly-endless loop stating Parse Error! (piece is wrong color!) Kinda dampened my spirits..... Also, reverse video doesn't seem to work. That is, on a black screen, I can't get the upper-left corner to be white - it will be black always - I can get the white squares to be either filled white or /////s but I can't get squares that are white when the background is white to be white when the background is black - WHY? -iain
