XBoard is a graphical chessboard for the X Window System. It is developed and maintained as free software by the GNU project. WinBoard is a port of XBoard to run natively on Microsoft Windows.
Originally developed by Tim Mann, these programs are compatible with various chess engines that support the Chess Engine Communication Protocol such as GNU Chess. It also supports Internet Chess Servers,e-mail chess, and the playing of saved games.
It has been recently enhanced a great deal, and the Chess Engine Communication Protocol was extended to meet the needs of modern engines (which have features such as hash tables, multi-processing and end-game tables, which could not be controlled through the old protocol).
XBoard has always been supportive of Chess variants, such as Suicide Chess or Crazyhouse, acting as a client for Internet Chess Servers that offered such variants. This support has now been extended to all of the World's major Chess variants: xiangqi (Chinese Chess), shogi (Japanese Chess), makruk (Thai Chess) and many Western variants on boards of deviating sizes (e.g. Capablanca Chess). It offers a Westernized representation for these games, but the almost limitless configurability of WinBoard does allow a high-quality traditional oriental representation of these games.
Satan youth on the march
Masses in the graveyard in the dark
Masses of asses play a different game
but they're kneeling just the same...
Need someone to make decisions for you
Worship is the same no matter who you bow to
You can't have one without the other
Flip side of the coin but both are masters...
Just because you don't believe in god
dosen't mean you believe in the devil
I don't worship god - I don't worship the devil
I don't worship ANYBODY!!!
Rock stars with their evil pose
Fiery clothes spiked leather clothes
You follow 'em 'cause you think
they're pawns of satan
But even they don't believe it
AND YOU GET TAKEN!
To you the grave is just another playpen
Instead of the hole that you'll wind up in
You can't take responsibility
for your own life and what you can be
You think you're tearing down the gates
But you're just like the ones you hate
Night becomes the same as day
when you give control of your mind away!
Want someone to make decisions for you
You say you've lost faith in the old order
But you still need someone there
to give you orders...
mass is mass is an ass is an assis a asses
en masse...
