I can run here matches between Chess System Tal or Genius 6.5 vs. other engines running on Arena or Fritz, using a nullmodem cable. The problem with the new computers is that you may have only 1 serial port. You can do it without a nullmodem cable if using Arena or Fritz, but I'm not sure at all if old CSTal and Genius can do that. Olivier
