What are XBoard and WinBoard?
XBoard and WinBoard are graphical user interfaces for chess. XBoard runs with the X Window System on Unix systems (including GNU/Linux); see topic [B.1]. WinBoard runs on true 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, such as Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, XP, and should continue to work on future 32-bit Windows systems. It does not work on Windows CE (also known as Pocket PC), nor does it work on 16-bit Windows systems such as Windows 3.1. See topic [B.2].
