The idea sounds interesting, but I am convinced that it will not be easy to find a good way of binding both programs together in one good working concept. It's hard to say which program has the better proposal in a given position, and doing it statically (by defining some types of positions) may lead to problems. Maybe in the end the exchange of ideas between the programmers will help both programs even more than some kind of electronic 3-brain (Althofer). But it's an adventure which will educate and bring fun! What more to demand? Good luck to both of you.
