The problems with bsetup and castling takeback in examine mode
should now have been solved in the server. The bsetup case
required some additions to XBoard, to make it switch variant
during the setup when the ICS changes board size.
When you enter bsetup from idle mode you now get an empty 8x8

With the lastest git my points are fixed.
I cannot decide for:
1. the bug mentioned in comment #6.
2. bsetup on VICS (xboard or server issue?)

I can confirm that the bsetup and disconnect problem are server errors. The
hack I made supports variable board size, and I initialize it in th boad-setup
routin that starts a new game. Apparently bsetup uses another routine that
does not set nr

Yes, I already noticed, that Get move list is now necessary for proper
variant recognition. Otherwise observing a suicide game (with xboard in normal
mode) shows some effects, like move animation disabled, when kings are not on
the board.

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #27666 (project xboard):
Get Move List has always been necessary for variant recognition, as ICS
simply don't send any variant indication with their boards. When al variants
were played on 8x8 boards with the same pieces this was a whole lot less
critical, though. In
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #27666 (project xboard):
OK, I fixed the Gothic examining case on the ICS. Unfortunately the ICS
handles it (like any variant switch, e.g. normal - crazyhouse) in such a way
that you get the board first, without knowing what the variant is, and only

Well, one thing is sure: this is not Shogi. Shogi is played on a 9x9 board.
There is no way to prevent ICS operators picking a name for their boards that
is identical to the name of an XBoard variant, while it is in fact a board for

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #27666 (project xboard):
For me it did, except the Gothic case, which I think is a server problem, not
an XBoard problem. (OK, admitted, a segfault is not the best kind of error
message...)
