Well the first post [ Message Number: 108521 Date: April 30, 2000 at 09:51:26 As can be seen is timed at 9:51 am. Is it not possible I was up earlier and had already almost finished the 10/0 when the post was made. I think if you check the times of any of my posts they are made at all hours as my sleeping times are odd. Some posts I make at 4 am. So it isn't as incredible as you may think to play in fact 22, 10/0 games and 20, 5/0 games in 8 hours. >six hours later you posted this:- > > [ Message Number: 108583 > Date: May 01, 2000 at 00:07:02 > At 25/0 so far it's 9-0 to Fritz 6a though I have not > as yet checked the games as the match is still playing. ] > >six hours for nine games at 25min/game is what I would expect, I'm glad that suits your timeframe. >but the quote above raises three more issues >1) how did you find the time to check through the games, both >at 5/0 and 10/0 as mentioned in a later post. I checked them prior to the 25/0 match during this same 8 hour period you quote. Took about 45 mins though sorry I never checked my time exactly nor exactly recall my thought process.....oh well. >2) are you using the Internet on one of the computers at the >same time as a test is running, geez, this makes me wonder >if you have other things also sharing the processor, virus >checkers, wallpaper, pet-catz, etc etc. A valid point. Then it ultimately falls apart. It is true when posting I use one of the computers. As for other things sharing the processor I have the same items running on both computers. By the way...................... catz is spelt cats. That's an s not a z. And I have no catz only a dogz. >3) are you an alien living in a different time dimension, >sent to earth to discredit crafty ;-) Sadly a lot of this post you went to so much effort on is in reality a childish attempt again to try to show how smart you are. And this final comment naturally makes me wonder why I even bother posting here. >Best regards from planet Earth. Whatever.
