I found pychess to be really slow on an XO-1. It might also depend on how good you want the engine to be. I don't like dumbing things down, but perhaps a simpler engine might perform better on XO hardware. Mind you, it might just be slow because it's written in Python :p Sridhar _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
