I'm glad you tried out these things and I surely don't want to discourage you to do further investigations, but do you really think you've found a viable option? I'm afraid but it doesn't sound like it, to me. *shrugs* As for Arena running under Wine/whatever. Can you use Linux-native engines in it ? If not, it sounds pretty useless to me as well. >Also, I miss a nice GUI for chess engines in Linux. xboard is terrible, >Scid is more of a database, I have struggled with jose, but no success, and >slibo (http://slibo.sourceforge.net) also fails. I couldn't agree more... sadly that counts for Macs too. When I want to observe multiple games in ICC, I have no way in Linux and only the horrible way of using Fixation under OSX. *sighs* Sargon
