Thanks for your post,!! I wouldn't have thought it possible to play 2/1 manually yet we learn something new everyday. I never even thought about using winboard and making it smaller and alt/tabing, I did hear once about a program that would pin two applications together which would if you found it allow you to have winboard reduced really small and put it in either corner with the other interface fritz or hiarcs open at same time. That would likely be even quicker moving wise. As far as trying it, it sounds like way to much work. I do enjoy looking at the games though, especially the ones with scrappy which Hiarcs won verywell. Thanks.
