The official rule states you can use _any_ program you would like as long as you do not join any tournaments. Or the rating variance between the engines you choose to use do not cause a dramatic rating drop or rise. (being <800) If you join such tournaments, you have to use the engine that the account was granted. Other than that, there is nothing stating you can not use any engine you see fit. As a general rule though in cases like these, I only use one engine per account and if I want to switch engines I first email the "computers" account, request the change and wait until I hear a response before using the new engine. I only do this because there are admins like thebojo, and SuperIntellect. (odd nick because I think he is a complete and utter moron. And has proven it in the past.) There is nothing stating you can't have more than one computer account. I in fact have three.... Peter
