I have version 8.0.0.8 but still am having a problem using Fritz 8 as an
analysis engine running under CB8.

The problem is that I am selecting moves different from the ones selected by
Fritz 8 and then forcing Fritz 8 to analyze my moves.  I am merely a chess
amateur.  Why are my moves often better than the ones Fritz 8 selects?  This
should not happen more than once in a million moves.  But it is happening maybe
once in ten moves.  I really don't understand this!!!!
