This is correct. The method is that the gui and engine are on different PC so it still must be able to play under Winboard. > >>Else Chesspartner have a built in ICS server, maybe Chessmaster too but I >>haven't tried if the later can run eng-matches. > >Here to, as far as I understand, ChessPartner can connect to a chess server but >cannot act as a host for games where programs connect from a different machine. > In addition to act like a Fics/ICC client you have two other choice in the list, Chesspartner client and Chesspartner server. On the first machine create and load a profile with this set to Chesspartner server. Then on the second machine create and load a profile with it set to Chesspartner client. One catch/bug is that you can't adjust the timecontrol when using the built in LChess engine but for general Winboard or UCI engines all work as expected. I haven't tried other buildin engines like Tiger so I don't know how it work with this. I expect Sjeng and Rebel to work (without trying) because these are winboard/uci engines.
