	In principle, anything can connect both machines. You do not even need two
machines, both engines can be using the same.
	Another posibility is to have one computer as "tournament director", which
makes the pairings and serves as referee in all the matches of a tournament. It
receives the moves from all players and sends them to their respective
opponents, and settles any dispute that may arise. You can easily realiza that
these tournaments have been considered.
