Well, my old Fidelity Chess Challenger 7 overpowered GNU in the
5-minute game (the Challenger 7 took about 35 minutes; GNU only took
5).  I figure this might be a fair comparison since GNU is running a
32-bit processor while Challenger 7 is a Z-80.

Fidelity's endgame was so weak it overplayed by 15+ moves when mate
was immenent, acquiring material.  I finished the game for it.

Installation was trivial; congratulations on a fine piece of software.

One problem I'm having is getting from the help page back to the game
page.  Maybe this is a bug, or maybe it's a user interface problem,
but normally I expect to see the help, and then expect a single
keypress to return me to the game.

I haven't yet figured out how to get back to the game.

	Well, the bug is that the line saying 'Hit <esc> to return' is
gone is version 1.55. It still works like 1.53 though.
