I never entered an "On the board" computer chess competition so there must be something that I am missing. What's the big problem with using winboard? Why can't the engine ask you once in a while how much time has been wasted by the operator or whatever? What's the big deal? Is it not allowed? What is it allowed? Why do the people need to restart an engine plus the interface??? Regards, Miguel
