Not only you can do a Match between  a Winboard Engine and another Chess Program
with the enabled 232 Protocol, but also you can do Matches between two Winboard
Engines using this experimental 232 Protocol Interface.

Like an Interface, I don't think it can have any secret creat, because both
Winboard Engines would used it.

Relating to the specific 232 Protocol Implementations on Fritz GUI, Chess
Partner GUI, etc, I cannot prove that they can have any "secret cheat".

I don't misunderstand this point, but I prefer the standard way between two PCs.
:) It's not a controversial point. My information is related to use Winboard
Engines on the 232 Protocol.

I have never detected any strange or repeated message on this protocol. Could
you give me some real examples about this? I am really interested if any secret
cheat is being sent by any Interface trough the 232 Protocol. The main reason is
I do my Testing Computer Matches in two different PCs using the 232 Protocol.

Waiting for your timely and early response.
