This looks like a lot of fun.
I have one question: how do you tally the results of a match?

When testing my chess program, I wrote a little program to munge a games file
and spit out the match score but it'd be much nicer if winboard showed the
current match score during a match (and also put it in the game file).
Or is there a feature to do this that I don't know about?

cheers,
Peter
