When it was my mistake (or not) that rebel9 did played without one part of it's
books, and there was a chance to correct this, I decided to replay the game.
I did not know about the result when i did so.
I could have been also a win for fritz. But it wasn't.
it was a draw because rebel9's book had better moves in this opening line.
IMO there was no injustice. It would have been unfair if I would have played
with a wrong book.

I see on the other hand no reason to discuss the CHANCES of each shit move in
the power-books of fritz5. We don't even know if different power-books exists !
Could also be an explanation why he says a6 is SERO chance. When a move leads
into a lost-line, cstal e.g. knocks it off. So the SERO chances more are not
playable by the program. I doubt if this is the case with fritz5.
If this would have been the same with fritz, i would not be able to get a6 on
another machine.
Whats know ? Shall we doubt the random move generator of fritz ?!
Shall we doubt quantum-mechanics because of this ?! I don't think we have to.

Calm down. Anything is ok.
I had 2 machines. I used power.ctg for fritz5.03 and junior.ctg for junior.
Junior played better IMO. Fritz had this draw behaviour. Nobody here talked
about this. Instead anybody tries to find out how thorsten has manipulated the
game. Why should I ? IMO the game showed that junior plays better. I have no
time to discuss each move that was played by fritz here. The book is very very
big. If we would have to discuss the sense of any move, or discuss the chances
of any move...

the power-books that was used is from 11.08.1997, 21h37.
it is 553.504.768 bytes big.
