I know statistics(I learned it in university) but I think that there is
something that is called simple logic even if there is no scientific proof that
the results are 100% correct.

Even if chessfun checked only the extreme results with both engines and I see
from another post that she did it there is a reason to believe that her other
results are right.

Of course I can be more sure about it if she will check all the games but I do
not complain.

If people start to complain about this the result may be that she will not post
her results.

I meant that I did not check the evaluation and depth of fritz(of course I
checked some evaluation and depth of crafty in the 9-0 games)
