Actually making it "automated" over the internet is as simple as attaching it to
the winboard autoplayer adapter for Chessbase products. Getting that to kibitz
is an entirely different matter.

Do you know what language Fritz, Junior, or Shredder are written in? Maybe it
_isn't_ an easy job to make it automated over the internet. If it was, don't you
think they would have already done it? Shredder was winboard compatible at one
point. Why not now?

I am not the one being insulting. You are.
