Hi Tim,

good idea, but is it possible to connect to a chess server with 2 different
loggins on only one computer and only one internet connection? And how to get a
computer account at FICS? I have tryd it before about 6 month, but it was only
possible to insert human datas for an account, and not computer datas.

have a nice day
Andreas
