XBoard and WinBoard are graphical user interfaces for chess. They display a chessboard on the screen, accept moves made with the mouse, and load and save games in Portable Game Notation (PGN). They serve as front-ends for many different chess services. XBoard runs on Unix systems, while WinBoard runs on true Win32 systems such as Windows NT and Windows 95/98.
