Also i wonder how you get to work bugfree programs like fritz with winboard. They don't want to play on some FICS thing but on a chessbase server. The junior guys want to play on kasparovchess only and not on any other server (protocol). And i have my own preference too and it ain't FICS either but manually as i can't connect automatically yet to the supercomputer. I need to go through some firewalls and then a relogin to another partition. Winboard ain't doing that for me. >On October 28, 2002 at 12:56:37, Gian-Carlo Pascutto wrote: > >>On October 28, 2002 at 12:43:27, Günther Simon wrote: >> >>>Why the *cough* about Arena Gian-Carlo?
