                                WHITE

     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.
