I know of a few possible options: - Both programs knows auto232 or both knows WinBoard. - One knows WinBoard and one knows auto232 - Both programs can play under CB7. - Maybe other database programs can handle multiple chess engines, I don't know. - There are some "physical" chess boards that the programs can talk with, I don't know much about them either. BTW, the board layout isn't that important in comp-comp play - is it? I'm not so found about the WinBoard board layout either, but I use the program frequently because of some great functions. //Peter
