Hello,

unlike gnuchess-6.2.4, the 6.2.5 version is not working with 
xboard-4.9.1, regardless of how it was invoked:

# xboard -fcp "gnuchess --xboard" -scp "gnuchess --xboard"

or

# xboard -fUCI -fcp "gnuchess" -sUCI -scp "gnuchess"

None of these two commands is working. The xboard screen appears and 
everything looks fine, but when the game starts, gnuchess responds with 
only one move and then hangs forever. This happens regardless of whether 
the opening book is enabled (set to true) or disabled (set to false). 
This didn't happen in gnuchess-6.2.4 that was working fine and without 
any problem.

It is interesting however that version 6.2.5 works correctly with 
eboard-1.1.1.

Is there any way to fix this?

Regards,
