Hmm, do we really have to start this all over again? ;-( Actually, it is not necessarily bad to play on a single machine. For one, programs like Fritz and Tiger are very well suited for this as they don't hog CPU time when sitting idle. Secondly, there is no relevant evidence yet that the time management problems caused by "PB off" actually have a significant impact on the outcome - at least not more than the good old statistical problems of playing a series of less than 1000 games... ;-) --- Shep
