From a Letter of Relation by Lope de Aguirre to His Majesty Felipe II, after telling all the wonders he conquered in the Indies: "All this relation is true, and nevertheless is false, and there is nothing in this river but despair." Your 3 points are true. Also irrelevant in our discussion. They do not prove: -the engine is different. -the book is different. -the autoplayers cheats. It is rather a matter of principle: "we agreed on a given public autoplayer and either we stick to it or we don't play anymore." Right? >The ssdf-guys have to delete the CB-autoplayer games.

Uffffff. I have no battle to win. My only interest: how good is Fritz 5 compared to other programs. Well, another one: fight accusations of cheating based on speculation. >The decision to accept this autoplayer was a step over the edge ! >Only NOT counting the games is a change to come back to normal values. > >How can you defend that this autoplayer is a hidden device. That is >NOT SCIENTIFIC. >The results are not counting as long as they use this device. I know it's a point being made. I disagree, though, based on the fact that the engine played by SSDF is the same one we all have. >In the moment they use the normal auto232 autoplayer device and Fritz is >still rank No.1 all the trouble is away. > >IF ! > >But still than you have to explain me why Cstal is number one too. :-) Not yet... And I would have no problem at all with this. The contrary, I like unusual programs. >(and why all other unfamous opponents kill fritz5 easily). Proof... Emotional proof, if you like. :) Enrique
