Hi Dann! I think it is a pity that a great program like Genius7 does not has an autoplayer to play against other programs. Like you said, almost all the programs has this option, and it will be nice in the future that Richard Lang implement this feature in the next Genius. Genius is a very good program, and it need to comeback again, and fight a good place in the SSDF! :-) Regards! Tanya
