Pete, Lemme guess: you have stocks in Winboard Inc. :-) But you're right. With Winboard you have a lot of command line options. You can download a lot of engines. Add parameters like /fcp=jeroenchess.exe /scp=petechess.exe /mg 100 /sgf c:\compchess.pgn and you have all you want. There are two "but's". No tournaments with a lot of engines like in the Fritz family. Sometimes in Winboard eng-eng games I notice engines loose on time in won positions because of very sloppy time management. (take GNU-chess, for a change). Fritz and Hiarcs won't do that (maybe once or so). And Hiarcs or Fritz are great analysis and training partners. Fritz is for fast tactical crunches, Hiarcs is more for "positional" understanding. Both come with the same (Fritz 5) interface. The engines can be used vice versa. I love them both, but should you start buy Fritz 5.32. You'll get to Hiarcs 7.32 eventually, whether you like it or not. And lots of freeware engines can be used with the winboard adapter available on the CB pages. (Not all too successful) Jeroen ;-} ps. Well, let's start a row over CM6K, will we, Pete? :-D
