Or are you talking about including the autoplayer code from Stefan? Working TASC Smartboard Code would be nice, too, since that's one of the primary reasons I bought it in the first place, although, since I like the playing style so much, I am not planning on returning it just because it doesn't work. Which means that I tested it, but unless there is a different command line switch than /saitek it doesn't work. I hope you do mean that it will be able to autoplay on FICS, because I meant what I said, if people see it play, they're going to want to buy it. It's beating up MCP6 right now. It allowed MCP6 to gobble a few pawns without recapturing, while it brought more pieces to bear on MCP's exposed king. This approach doesn't always work for it, but more often than not, and it's a lot of fun to watch. kp kp
