I was actually doing this yesterday ... I was playing myself over the network
(had two clients up). I can do this on the Mac, by playing a program through the
ExaChess interface, so I see two boards - the board of the program I'm playing
(from the program's point of view) and the ExaChess board I'm entering my moves
on. Perhaps a similar approach could be used on the PC using Winboard as the
human's board, and also having the program's native board up?
