Hi Christophe, It is nice to hear that Chess Tiger 11.7 support the autoplayer 232 now. Does your program also support the Chess 232-pc-board? Or do plan to support pc-board? I do not know when you want to release your program. I would like to buy one copy if it is avalable. If you don't want to publish your program in the next time, it would be a pleasure for me to help testing the pc-board-support (if you like).
