NAME
       eboard -	a graphical chess board

SYNOPSIS
       eboard [-log] [-debug] [-dgtport	device ]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page	briefly	describes the eboard command.

       eboard is a graphical chess board. It acts as an	interface to chess en-
       gines  (like  GNU  Chess,  Sjeng	and Crafty) and	Internet Chess Servers
       (ICS) like FICS (http://www.freechess.org), and works as	a browser  for
       chess games saved as PGN	(Portable Game Notation) files.	 eboard	itself
       is  not	a  chess  engine:  it  won't play games, it will just act as a
       graphical interface between programs that play games like GNU chess (or
       ICS servers) and	the end-user.

       To move pieces click on the source square and then click	to destination
       square. Optionally, you may drag	the piece from the source to the  des-
       tination	square (you won't see the piece	being dragged).	To drop	pieces
       on crazyhouse and bughouse variants (ICS-only) right-click the destina-
       tion square and select the piece	to drop	from the popup menu.

       For help	with ICS commands consult the server (most of them have	online
       help and	help channels).

       For  help  setting up associated	programs (chess	engines, timestamping,
       etc.)  see the documentation  in	 /usr/share/doc/eboard	or  visit  the
       eboard  web site	at https://github.com/fbergo/eboard. If	the documenta-
       tion is not installed in	your system, you can find  it  in  the	source
       distribution, available from the	web site.

OPTIONS
       -log   Log  network  communications  to	"~/LOG.eboard".	Communications
	      held in password mode are	not logged.

       -debug Print miscellaneous debug	info to	"~/DEBUG.eboard".

       -dgtport	device
	      Use the DGT board	connected to the given device.
