There are no 200 games Enrique. These games do not count. They are
played with the ChessBase device. No programmer has confirmed this
device. And also it is not an open device.
It is as if the board of the ICCA would decide in a "pandorra room" (=no
people allowed to watch or follow) which program is world champion.
Who would acceot this without having seen games or programs or machines
?

If you want to make something scientific, you cannot do it like the
ssdf-guys have done it with Fritz5 in this case.

Believe me, you cannot win in this point.
You can try heavily. But this will not work.
By signing the paper of Ossi towards the ssdf-guys
Stefan Meyer Kahlen and Richard Lang and Chrilly Donninger
of course were instrumentalized by Ossi Weiner.

BUT:

On the other hand their request and the request of Ed Schroeder cannot
be forgotten and they cannot play as if these 200 games count and do
normal business. They can oversee Ossi Weiner.
He is only a sales-man.
But they cannot oversee Ed Schroeder, Stefan Meyer-Kahlen, Richard Lang,
Chrilly Donninger.

If they request to clearify, if they ask for ignoring these 200 games of
Fritz5 because the device was not publical available, if they forbid
further games fritz vs. their programs, ssdf- cannot exist any longer.
Its over.

You will maybe need some more time to accept this.
But in this case your own weapon (scientific approach and argumentation)
is
killing you (=Moritz and you and ChessBase).
