Since Dan Sears and Chris Sears have just posted a new X interface to
gnuchess on comp.sources.x, called "xboard", I would like to
officially announce that I won't do any more work on xchess.  I
haven't had as much time lately as I expected to, so I haven't gotten
around to working on it, and xboard seems to do everything I was going
to do.  Here is the README file:

XBoard version 1.0

XBOARD is an X11R4-based user interface for GNU Chess.  It uses the Athena
widgets and Xt intrinsics to provide an interactive referee for managing
a chess game session between a user and a computer opponent or between two
computers.  It manages a digital chess clock for each player and resets the
clocks if time control is acheived within a given set of moves.  The game
can be started with the initial chess position, with a series of moves from
a game file or with a position from a position file.  The "match" shell script
runs a series of games between two machines, alternating sides.  The man page
xboard.1 describes the features of xboard.

XBOARD was written by Dan Sears and Chris Sears.  XBOARD borrows its colors,
icon and piece bitmaps from xchess which was written and copyrighted by
Wayne Christopher.
