Hi Franz,

at the moment Chest UCI is analyze on a mate position, but the clock don't show
the mate for the moment.

I used the following combination:
One monitor, one mouse and one keyboard.
But two PCs!

With an adapter and the combination 2x scroll on my keyboard I can switched from
Athlon 3.2 to Xeon 2.8. At the moment I write this message on my Athlon, let me
look on the clock XP ... oh Chest have found the mate!

Now I will switched with 2x scroll to my Dual and will see the analyses :-)
Must go ... a lot to do!

Best
Frank
