Any engine that is NOT Winboard compatible (such as Fritz and Shredder) cannot
be used inside Chessmaster. Therefore, "automatic tournaments" between these two
engines are BELIEVED TO BE not possible. HOWEVER, there is still the possiblity
that the auto232 program (that some users here are familiar with) might be able
to allow these kinds of tournaments on two machines.
