Thanks Peter.
K-Board it is .. :)
I'm mainly doing this because I'm tired of XBoard ...
it is not bad(!) and it has served many people for a
very long time, but it has bugs that drive me nuts.
I'll try to make K-Board(!) much more visual and easy
to configure. Plus some additional features, like full
pgn file support and building a database out of pgn files.
Also implement a server/client interfaces so one can easily
run two engines on two separate computers...
