Well for database features, you can save games in Rebel format, epd, pgn, cbf, that Chesspartner. You can analyze epd files in the interface with the Tiger engine, and the Rebel 2.0 engine. You can also edit databases. You can use Winboard engines in the Chesspartner interface, and in playing engine vs engine matches I have had no problems. As for setting up a tournament, I will have to see if it can do that, as I have not tried. While playing a game, you can have Rebel 2.0 analyze the game, so you can see what could be coming from the engine you are playing. However this function does not work over ICS, as that would increase cheating. Nice touch I think. What more would you like to know? I can try to find out any info that you would like. I have really only played over ICS, and locally, and a few times engine vs engine, as I don't really use _any_ program to analyze epd files...
