I have not said it cheats. I only say i cannot reproduce the good results. I can replay the games when somebody posts them, but i get weaker results. Especially strange draw-bug-games. These draw-bug games end in draw or fritz loses. I can only guess the autoplayer is the reason. Because i see no reason why my games played out manually and the games played out by the chessBase autoplayer should be much different. But it is. So: i trust the users (enrique, dirk, moritz) but i don't know the player. So i think the problem is in the player ! I cannot proof anything or find out without the autoplayer. But i see no reason to say: oh yes, you are all right, when my own results do not reflect this .. I have always written what my results told me, why should i lie now ?! >I have a hard time figuring out how to make the versions of reality I am hearing >about fit together. Why ? They play with the autoplayer and get good results. My friends and i play manually and get weaker results. The difference is: they use autoplayer, we not. I would now have the idea somehow the autoplayer is doing something differen, or the version is different. Or the book. Or whatever. But why shall i give up or resign ? It is a technical problem. Nothing more. Of course you cannot await that people working for chessbase will have a reason to make deep research into this area :-))) >bruce
