I hope this hasn't been asked lately.  I especially hope it isn't
already in the documentation, which I have read but not thoroughly.

Well, I got the latest gnuchess and have everyone hooked on chess for
awhile.  Anyway, I notice that the documentation talks about how
gnuchess is stronger some other impressive programs when run on a
Sparcstation, etc.  What I'm wondering is whether there is a
convenient way to play gnuchess against another program, or itself,
that might be running on the same or a different machine. 

I know about the 'both' command but that's not what I want.  I'd like
to be able to run gnuchess on machine A and on machine B, where A
might be a significantly faster computer, and have them play each
other.  I don't want to enter the moves by hand since that would
affect the move times too much.

Has anyone done this already?

Jay
