I do not know if it is possible to do it by a program and the only way that I know to end processes is to use end process by task managar. Note that if a program can do it then I imagine that in game between programs on the same computer one program may win the game because part of the program simply say to kill the process of the second program(I never saw that mistake in games between programs and the only mistake that I know is resigning for the opponent). I do not know what programs are able to do, so I can imagine that it may be possible to kill the opponent process also in Leo's tournament when the only way to prevent it may be to use 2 different computers and not a dual. 3)a possibility to play at unequal time control(mentioned by another poster) Uri
