Thank Michael, my friend suggested that to me yesterday around 9:30AM, and I was also thinking about the posibility of letting Tiger Play White with the AMD K62-500 Mhz then switch the program to CMQueen+ with the AMD K62-500 Mhz and duplicate all the moves until the end of the opening for the white side, therefore, giving both the same oppotunity to play with the same hardware and the same opening and in this way avoiding any possible disadvantages. But my friend pointed out the draw back of using this method is that it required a lot of time to switch programs and hardwares after every game and also duplicating all the opening book moves on both computers until white reaches the end of its opening line that it used on the previous game. Taking into consideration all the work involved We decided to implement his suggestion which at the same time you were thinking about it and of course it was the right thing to do. But we also decided to eliminate any duplicated games with the same program using the same machine. Pichard
