How do you connect a UCI Engine to a chess server say FICS on a Mac ? Is there any interface that does this ? Also is there a way to set up an engine versus engine between a Mac and a Windows PC without connecting to a server and without human operators making the moves ?

Google around. I've never used either of those, Embarassed

I just know XBoard is the only (native) way to connect engines to an ICS on a *nix system, and you need PolyGlot to make UCI engines work in XBoard.
