I'm using the Xchess that came with the 3.1 distribution, but I found
that it was not able to properly load a saved file (using the -r flag
on invocation) when dealing with gnuchessr.  It would load the file OK
and move the pieces around just fine, but I discovered that it simply
was never telling gnuchessr about the moves.

So, I "fixed" this.  I also fixed a problem with getting

"Error: parse_imove: piece of wrong color!"

when starting a fresh session due to extraneous printout coming from
my .cshrc file by throwing away initial stuff until it finds "Chess"
when the progflag is set.

These "fixes" probably break some other behavior that I'm not
concerned with, but if anyone is interested, I could post my changes.
