This feature is currently in betatest, so I suspect there will be an update for this in the not-so-far-away future. >Primarily I'm interested in running computer vs. computer matches and >tournaments, as well as playing on chess servers.

Will it work in the Chessbase or Fritz interfaces? Tiger is available as a native Fritz engine. The Tiger for Fritz doesn't work under ChessPartner and the Tiger for ChessPartner doesn't work under Fritz. Deep Sjeng is compatible with pretty much everything, I don't know about Rebel...(Ed?) >Or will Fritz/Junior/etc. work under Chesspartner? Shredder works, the others don't. -- GCP
