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.
print Print a map of the present position.
