The problem seems to be with chesstool. If you run the non display version
of gnu chess without chesstool you'll find that it works just fine. Just
for grins, I tried running chesstool with the chess that comes with SunOS
4.1 and it resigned before I even made a move which is flattering, but not
a lot of fun. It looks like a new graphical display needs to be written.
