1 CBoard is a Console/Curses PGN file browser, editor and interface to chess
2 engines supporting the XBoard protocol. It supports SAN move format with
3 annotations including RAV, NAG, single and multi-line comments along with the
4 FEN tag which can be edited by arranging pieces on the board. It can also
5 validate and save to (optionally reduced) PGN format. Multiple games
6 (human/human, human/engine, engine/engine) can be loaded, created, searched
7 and edited. You can also customize the key bindings and create macros.
9 Builds on Solaris, Linux, *BSD (but not NetBSD as it doesn't have libpanel
10 from libcurses for some reason), Darwin and Linux.
12 Read INSTALL for build and installation details. After installing, type
13 "cboard -h" for command-line options or just "cboard". Then type F1 for
14 help on in-game command keys.
16 Feel free to send me a description of any bugs you find along with the
17 associated .pgn (if any), feature requests and patches.
