Then engine help doesn't look like the way to go. Read this nice article by Chris Kantack - it might encourage you to give it a try on your own: http://correspondencechess.com/campbell/articles/a030606.htm. Most major organisations do allow engine use though - this one is probably easiest and most interesting for a start : http://www.iecg.org/ . It is free and they provide good service. Peter
