Subject: Re: hiarcs 7 not an engine ???

Go up one level in this thread


I am thinking that maybe ChessBase decided to only support
32 bit engines in the future.  I would not be surprised
if ChessBase also took the additional step of only doing
Windows engines.

Programmers take note, be Windows and 32 bit or be left out!
