Thorsten's logic about Fritz 5 has never made much sense. He has some kind of
bias against Fritz 5, So when he talks about it he does not remember all the
results the prove his point moot. Now how he can take Rebel's results and turn
it around to show how bad and stupid Fritz 5 is at playing chess escapes me. But
the fact that he tries proves his bias. Now if he want to try and argue that
Rebel 10 may be better, then that's a point he could try to argue.
