Hi, I wonder if Tim Mann is reading this, but if you are, maybe you can help
me most.
Anyway, I just wonder if anybody out there knows whether fritz (fritz6,
fritz5.32) is compatible with most other engines, and can be used by clients
that play these engines. If so, is there such example? software? My goal is
to run a chess server(or write one myself) that use fritz's engine besides
Crafty to play with users if they choose to play with computers. I have the
Fritz 6 CD. Just tell me what to do.
Please.

So far I have tried some clients that could just(When I choose the fritz's
engine file in my Fritz6 folder, and the exe program file will have to be
chosen as well, such as fritz.exe) open the fritz program and make the first
move. And the first move is on the fritz window that is newly opened(which
consumes more memory, I don't want that). I don't think the clients get
response after that.

Anyway, I really like fritz engine, unless you guys out there prefer other
engines which could play better.


Thanks you guys.
Humbly,
Tim
