Ok- thanks for the replies ??!!! (what replies?! ie nil- no emacs chess
players out here? )
Anyway I have finally myself added some code to .emacs that now locates the
pixmaps & displays xboard so I can play chess (the board is quite large
though so I now want to resize it smaller). 
Now my emacs learning journey continues & I hope I can find help somewhere
when I get stuck & need it.
