       Black  plays  first.   The  program normally plays white.  To specify a
       move, name the square moved from and the square moved to.  For multiple
       jumps name all the squares touched.

       Certain commands may be given instead of moves:

       reverse	Reverse roles; the program takes over your pieces.

       backup	Undo the last move for each player.

       list	Print the record of the game.

       move	Let the program select a move for you.

       print	Print a map of the present position.
