EGChessPro don't work *yet* under Windows NT/2000. I'm working on this. It is not a GUI app, but it makes that many available Windows chess programs work as a GUI for Chest (and for Popeye and Crafty). When EGChessPro starts, it launch your favourite Windows chess position editor (SCID, CDB, WinBoard, Notepad, ...). For to solve a chess problem, just copy it from this program into the clipboard (with PGN, EPD or FEN format) and EGChessPro calls Chest ant puts the solution (converted to PGN) into the clipboard. Then, you can paste this solution into the chess editor and view all its variations. I think that it's a quick way for to solve chess problems with Chest. Salvador
