Never knowing if that was really the case. According to what I have read hear on CCC, it seems that that really is the case. So I would use the interface for my newest and strongest engine. That raises a QUESTION though!!!! If that is the case, then engine tournaments run on the same computer within the same interface would give FALSE RESULTS!!in addition to the problem of not being able to use permanent brain, due to the fact that each program would steal processing time from the other program. And I believe the Permanent Brain feature is an integral part of a chess program. Keep the interesting points coming. Bye Brian
