   XBOARD (Solaris 9 & sparc)

   I may have found a way to play chess
with xboard overcoming the problem noted
in an earlier EMail (and, I am now aware,
noted by others much earlier).

   Prior to commencing a game delselect 
'ponder next move' within the options panel.

   Then it seems to be possible to play a 
game either as white with the machine playing 
black or alternatively with the machine playing 
white.

   I am not sure of the significance of this 
option but at least at my level of chess I 
have now played two games one after the other
each to a conclusion.
