MBChess is going on the shelf for the next 3 years as I am attempting a PhD in a
slightly different field (hardware-accelerated automated theorem proving).

The FPGA was donated by Xilinx so I can keep it and my professor paid for the
board, which I will also keep. The board will next be used in the initial tests
for my doctoral project.
