[Audyssey] Question about winboard

2008-12-14 Thread dark
Hi. Sinse I can't obviously test this one lacking Jaws, I'm going to have to ask. Does the winboard program actually have a computer opponent to play chess against? or does it only explain the moves to you and allow you to play against another human opponent as the accessible chess tutor
