do you mean: how can your engine detect that it is a titled player ? Well, if it
is that, then it is not possible - WinBoard cuts the title information somwhere
off the name... the only info you get is if the opponent is a comp or not.
(WinBoard sends "computer" then to your engine - Quark reacts that it switches
from whispering to kibitz, Crafty adjusts it's book usage as far as I know...)

Greets, Thomas

P.S.: If you just want to see which titled players are on: "who T" - if its
about titled player observing a special game you can try "who g<game number> T".
To see games with titled players involved type "games *T" - but I think you know
that already...
