Thank you.
So one has to start knights,
and then choose gnuchess as "computer engine".
This strikes me as slightly weird.
And what is the option "gnuchess --xboard" meant to do?
(It does nothing.)
I would have thought an option "gnuchess --knights"
(or else a config file .gnuchess where you can specify "knights")
would be the rational way to start gnuchess
using the knights board.
