------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
Closing bug report, played through movelist in xboard and WinBoard, in both 
cases the position at the end of wtf.pgn is not determined to be mate. This bug 
appears to apply to the GNUChess engine which is included in the distribution, 
not to the chess client.

This looks like a bug in GNUChess, not xboard. Playing through the movelist in 
xboard, a mate is not announced at 26. Qe4+
