I hope, we don't have to wait so long:-)! I also hope that Ed will support the autoplayer 232 and pc-boards in the future versions of Rebel. I really would lik to see a pc-board-compatible Chess Tiger. When you like to get some help in testing the Chess Tiger just send me a short message. Even more interesting would be a pc-board feature. Did you ever thing about the new DGT-board? It is avalable and seems to be very good. Best greetings, Hannu Wegner
