Ciao Alexander, I mean that two engines can already have a shootout, not in automatic mode (this option is not present in scid), but in manually mode. In this way I tryed Shredder12 vs Ivanhoe some days ago, just to test the engines strenght. Anyway I agree with Roy: " would be nice to have two different engines in shootout" in automatically mode. I hope this option is added in future.
Ciao, a presto. Giorgio.
