No, I have no pair of 200MMX. On this machine I only play engine-games and test positions.

I see, it's the autoplayer that raises your suspicion. But Amir is right IMO. What should the autoplayer do in an uncorrect way?

Do I look like giving up a friend just for a little opinion fight like this? ;-) (Biting on my tongue not to say that I am not some other well known person whose friendship obviously gets lost a bit easier and a bit more often) All the best to you...
