Point? Only use statistically relevant info, no matter though, if fritz is strongest or not? This convo is about GM strength, are you saying Junior is a grandmaster?

No they wouldn't guess, because to avoid bias the players wouldn't know that fritz was participating at all, and would have no reason to suspect that it was. Further at swiss tourneys most players in the tourney don't actually analyse the games in depth of other players if they see them at all. So they would only think "geeesh that guy is good" >I have another idea that in every game the players will not know against who >they are playing. >everyone will give his(her,its) move to a computer program and the computer >program will give it to the opponent. Still not very good because this adds a component that does not exist in normal chess. Thus the results of the data analysed would have problems >
