I don't know if it's possible to make tests, where the engines run i their
preferred environment, so to speak. That would indeed be an optimal solution,
since Fritz is playing all its matches at home turf, which could be an
advantage. But I haven't heard that it's possible to do so. Furthermore, I agree
with your observations regarding the general reservations you can heed about
this test.

>ps, BEWARE my english is approved by chessfun and mogen larsen. so dont complain

LOL. With the kind of improvement you're showing this far, I'll have to practice
to keep up. (mumbling: where did I put that dictionary?)

Best wishes...
