Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27790 (project xboard):
It seems that when observing a game, one _always_ has to fetch a move list to
know which variant it was, even if you see the very first board. FICS gives an
indication of the variant after saying "You are now observing game #.", but
ICC doesn't, and immediately dumps a board on you. For games you play yourself
this is not needed, as the "Creating ..." message before contains the variant
indication.
Can you try changing line 3541 of backend.c:
} else if (moveNum > 0 && newGameMode != IcsIdle &&
to:
} else if ((moveNum > 0 || newGameMode == IcsObserving) && newGameMode
!=
IcsIdle &&
? I think this should solve it.
