in fact there is a way, this was already discussed during CCT7. There exist two
solutions which can connect the ChessBase GUI with auto232 to winboard WITH
sending analyzing lines. The engine itself must just create a textfile which is
grabbed by the adapter and sent to ICC every time a move is made. So for the
programmer it isn't to complicate to play.

Might be that Anthony is still busy with testing his supercomputer or CCT does
no longer play a role in Zappa's life. Or he can simply not play. Look at the
reason Will gave... there are more important things than CC in life... :)

Greets, Thomas
