  2. Being very familiar with engine to engine tournament mode of Aart Bik's app, i wanted to repeat the same with Chess for All withıut success. Is there a way to:
    - import two different engines
    - set time control as Gxx + increment?
    - set engine parameters for each engine, mainly hashsize and threads?

  3. In engine vs engine mode, can i let 2 engines play each other instead of making the engine play himself?

  4. With the app "Chess Engines" you can run only one engine. But it is possible: Stockfish (app "Stockfish Chess") against an engine from app "Chess engines".
