To reach both conclusions you need many more games against many more
opponents, both, for Fritz 5 and for CST. Manual, of course.

See above. 19 games are way too little.

Not quite. 19 games are not statistically as valid as 19. And ratings

Interesting games (no sarcasm!), thank you. I am looking forward to
these hundreds of games played manually. I know it's no fun. I have done
it for a couple of years, a long time ago.

Nice to see you collecting data. :)
