If  you use 2 different Chessbase Interfaces, you would have to place one engine
folder into a different directory in addition to the one that is probably
already in Program Files\Chessbase\Engines
The Fritz 7  and Fritz 6 programs usually are in
Program Files\Chessbase\enginges. The 2 interfaces would then share the same
engine folder.
You would need create another engine folder and place it elsewhere, or rename it
and change the path to the new location.
I imagine this would be a manually run game.
