Is announced on the Gambit-Soft page (I ordered it Immediately:))  Curiously, I
could find no update on the Oxford page as yet.

"Chess System Tal II WIN arrived

Chess System Tal II (Windows 95/98/NT) by Oxford Softworks arrived here today.
All pre-orders will be airmailed today. A few weeks ago programmer Chris
Whittington wrote:
CSTal2 interface is both auto232 and Internet Chess Server (ICC and FICs etc)
compatible. This means you can play any appropriate combination of end-user, cst
engine, auto232 engine, ICC opponent, other chess program on LAN etc. For
example, you can hang an auto232 engine (Hiarcs, Genius, Mchess etc.) on one
end, and the ICC on the other, thus getting automated ICC server play for any of
these auto232 engines. The CSTal2 engine can kibitz at the same time + all the
usual chess server features are available. It does work. We tested it :).
Further details will follow the next few days. Price, including airmail
worldwide, US $ 55 (at today's exchange rate). - 3/29/99"

Questions; Anyone here owning this program (DOS).  Can you tell me something
about the tutorials in the program, and just your overall opinions are most
welcome.

And, does anyone know if this new program has the DOS version included and/or
all the features of the previous one?

Thanks,

mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict!
