Fool me once, shame on you.. fool me twice.. shame on me. In a way I am happy that it only cost me $50 to not believe _any_ advertising from the Lokasoft group of engines. And as reported more than once here, and on the Lokasoft forums there is a problem with the ChessPartner interface and UCI/Native engines with online play. The interface is not updating the board during games and the engine is losing on time. This was first reported with Rebel 12, and has only continued. From now on I am sticking to my good ole trusty Winboard, and the Chessbase interface. Neither have let me down yet. Peter
