That gives of course false results of several reasons. But it is fun. And chesscomputers is first of all for fun, isn’t it? Unfortunately you can't play on one computer with dos-programs. But many have two computers and play because it amuses them and nothing else, also with Century3. What would be sad is if Rebel would sell worse because of a not well working auto 232. But it can be that Century makes well also. I hope so, because I like Century3 very much. Most because it has so good handicap levels, but I also like the GUI of Century 3. And of course it would be possible to do such a good GUI in Windows in future. And then we poor people who have only one computer can also play with auto 232 with Ed's program. Georg
