This would be the solution, which the chess software publishers would surely prefer. But for a valid comparison, you would need twice as much games as needed on equal hardware (because you have not only to switch colors, but also to switch the hardware). So, if you do the Nunn II test for example, this means four games per position. Alternatively, two cheap computers could be used - but I don't think this is satisfying. A dual board is also not the perfect solution, when the two engines to match don't work under the same GUI. Regards, M.Scheidl
