Well, a network is - almost by definition - independent of the OS of the
machines connected to it. Windows has been able to provide TCP/IP
networking at least since '95, and various Unixen have always had
TCP/IP more or less built in.  Today it is difficult to find a PC
without a network port.

Still, the point of a tournament is to allow all sorts of programs to
compete. It may easier if those programs can talk directly to each
other, or to a centralized referee program. But if that is not possible,
I think it would be proper to offer a way out, even by manual play on a
board, with human operators (yuck!) on both side making the moves. Such
a setup is more prone to mistakes, but programs opting for that should
bear the risk of such.
