Here's what Altavista translates directly. Not very nice english, but enough for a start: This program was written, thus Fritz6 the courses by WinBoard automatically on the three most well-known chess servers ( Internet Chess club , Chess.Net , Free Internet Chess server ) to execute can. Likewise one can use also all other chess programs under the Chessbase surface to run. For this however 2 computers are needed. On the one Fritz6 or Junior6 of the company must be installed Chessbase on the other one must WinBoard and an Internet acces be available. Installation: 1. Step: First both computers must be connected with the help of a zero-modem cable to respective OCM PORT. 2. Step: Then one does not start Fritz6 or Junior6 on the computer an Internet acces has. Now one selects Auto-232 0,9 the correct COM > port under the option extra - attach hardware > ... ( short alto Ums+J) - out and acknowledges it with OK ONE. This must be made with Fritz6 or Junior6 only once. With Fritz5.32 or Hiarcs7.32 after each start. 3. Step: One selects the engine (F3) and the time keeping (Strg+Z). On the page of Fritz one is now finished. 4. Step: Now one turns to the computer with the Internet acces and the finished installed WinBoard . Here first the provided file Winboard232.exe is copied into the Winboard directory. 5. Step: Then the Autoplayer must be adjusted as quite normal engines. This could look for the Internet Chess club e.g. in such a way: C:\Programme\winboard\winboard.exe - zp - ics - fcp " winboard232 2 " - icshost chessclub.com - more icshelper timestamp It means " " the 2 behind winboard232 that COM 2 is used here. One omits the 2 and writes only winboard232 COM 1 is automatically used. 6. Step: Now one starts WinBoard. The Autoplayer is activated automatically by Fritz. The connection to chess server is manufactured must the still following adjustments with WinBoard be made: Under options - > general must be activated GET move cunning, otherwise aborted portions cannot be continued again. Likewise auto must be activated flag. With options - > general should be Ponder NEXT move deactivated likewise Show Thinking . It is here easily not used. Now still the Settings stores and completely. At the end this should look as accompanying: Following problems or restrictions are there still: 1. The time keeping must on the computer with Fritz always manually and before beginning of the portion be adjusted and can during the portion be only heavily modified (simply times Strg z or F3 to try - does not function unfortunately always). This is because of the Autoplayer log that that does not designate simply. For this reason, one should leave the programs unaufbesichtigt! 2. No courses can be taken back. I did not integrate this, because I do not consider meaningful. 3. Fritz should after threefold repetition of course 3. Repetition - he lodges a complaint Remis instead of its only and terminates the play - must one does not execute with the Winboard program only F6 press and the portion is also here remis. The same applies also to the 50 courses rule, unfortunately. Notes: If one should have to interrupt the Autoplayer of Fritz for possibly a reason times, then one operates afterwards 1 or 2 times file - > RESET Game with Winboard. The Autoplayer is then again started and a portion if necessary interrupted is again continued, but the time keeping again on the output base reset and those uses time before ignored, sees also point 1. I have this Autoplayer on icc.com and chess.net under Windows 98 tested and there function he without further problems. Wnbaord232.exe was written in C with the help of the C/C++ Watcom of compiler.
