Yes, that was an idea, I will ask when time comes. Else so do I have two human
accounts so I guess the other one could be a beta tester.
At least I could divide the rating in two so that the problem would not be so
big.
Else it would have been nice if Chessmaster let xboard-engines play rated games
like human in theire next verson so that we could sponge a little on their work
