I would be happy to see someone present some positions, along with move probabilities, and have you check the same positions on your setup. If it turns out that you made a 0.8% move or something, people are going to think you cheated, either that or they are going to be very very worried that your computer is on the verge of blowing up and killing you or something. If someone else reported a game with a 0.8% move, I'm not sure what people would think, but I think you'll have to admit that people think that you aren't objective about Fritz. So I think that in order to avoid this, you might have to post opening book percentages in games you present. I don't know what the percentages are like in Fritz. If the book is extremely wide, with lots of low probability moves at every branch, perhaps we can figure out some way to vindicate this with math. If it turns out that there are 5% probability moves at every node, of course you are going to hit one, and maybe this will satisify people. But absent numbers, we just have this muted grumbling. bruce
