Another nice feature of "plug-in" engines is that it becomes easy to play matches between different engines. Does anybody have any information on the Fritz API? I'd like to modify my own engine to run under Fritz! Also, is it safe to assume that when you play Engine X vs. Engine Y that neither engine is "thinking" while the other is on-move? --Peter
