Anyone ever played winboard from fs? If your into chess then this is for you. Accoarding to the help pages you can use winboard to play against people over the internet. Playing against the computer is diffacult for a novice like myself. I have not found a way to change the skill level to match my skill. If anyone's played it and want to offer some hints to the game I would be happy to hear them.

Really, then perhaps you would like to challenge me?Either on win board or in a real game? where we can ahem, raise the stakes. After all, your not my signifagant other, but I'm sure we could find something to amuse ourselves.

winboard isn't necisarily boring, but I've had issues with other chess engines and their integration. maybe abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv could give us some insite as to why they don't like it? Seeing as they're such a smart and enlightened individual, I'm sure they could speak volumes about it's poor handling of memory, or maybe they have an issue with the way the jaws API integrates with winboard. or maybe they have nothing useful to say at all.

I don't know, mabey I'm not ready to hear what that has to say yet? I would rather talk in person, yes?

WinBoard is broken when trying to play online. Adding other chess engines is difficult. Go learn how to write chess moves and then play chess with someone on the zone or via email by typing in your moves. You will have much more fun.
