It is possible in the Shredder5 gui to load two engines on different machines in a network. So the user interface on the machine you are sitting at and the engines somewhere else in the network. This might also work with other interface but with UCI it is really simple if you have a rsh demon installed. Stefan PS: You can already play on a network with Shredder and Nimzo 8 or any other new ChessBase interface without a serial cable, but this has nothing to do with UCI.
