One machine: I manually made the moves alternating the programs between foreground and background. I believe I had permanent brain enabled. The first two games were rather longish (40/120:20/60 and 40/40) and I noticed a definite time-control problem as I switched between the two programs: Both programs developed what they thought were considerable time-advantages. I just played through the time-controls: The effect, if any, was just to give both sides much more time to think than they might have had in a *real* game. Both games ended in a draw. For the third encounter, I tried playing a game at 60/15. This game turned out to be a bit of a shocker. Just a few moves out of opening book, MacChess encounters: r3k3/1pq2pp1/1np1p1p1/p7/Pb1P2nr/1QNBP1P1/1P1B1P2/R4RK1 w q - and plays gxh4. I now realized that at *this* time control, MacChess spent most of its "thinking" time (on my 66 MHz 601-PPC card running inside a Mac IIvx) only just barely clearing the transposition table (which was set at 32 MB). I played the remainder of the games at 5 minutes per move.
