With Genius6.5 I have had no problems yet. Gambit Tiger I use now for 2 days and
I have had also troubles with it.

First use 2nd programm always as slave. Fritz is always master. It swappes
colors himselv default. When you want to start at a position you must mark "only
this game", when you want 2nd prog start, mark "only this game twice" (gets
gray). Don“t forget to load the auto232 driver before starting on menu extras?.
