I don't think we know >>until we have a look-see. >>;-) What could Ed have been thinking in choosing Chess Parnter to be his window environment. I am sure his previous customer have written to him asking what they would like, and I am sure that Ed has seen other windows chess programs. So it makes me wonder if this is nothing more than a cheap way to jump into windows. So maybe if he is going to take this line, then make it nothing more than a commercial winboard engine. I think it will be a disaster. Soon as I heard the word Chess Partner and windows interface for Rebel, I thought it was a joke. Those who haved used chess parnter would know what I mean.
