Subject: autoplaying 2 computers

after about a month of trying and with the invaluable help and suggestions of
all the forum members in particular chris taylor, sarah bird, kurt utzinger, and
many others i finally got 2 computers to autoplay each other using the
chesstiger-chessbase interface-actually managed to play it for 36 hrs at a
stretch.

i still have afew questions to ask.

1)i keep hearing people talk about master and slave-i canot find any mention of
this on the chess tiger interface-

2) on the "TOOLS->CONNECT HARDWARE" window there is an option called "PIPE
SERVER"
what is the significance of checking or unchecking this box

3) on the "FILE->NEW->2 COMPUTER MATCH-> window there is an option called
"OPPONENT SAVE" what is the significance of this box

4) how does one specify the number of games to be played between the 2
computers-there does not seem to be any option as here is for eng vs eng matches
on 1 computer

5) the computer on which i click "OK" first seems to be the one that starts as
white. is this the recommended way to do it

6) are there any other hidden options that i have missed

thanks for any help
