Yes. On disk, learner enabled, tablebases on CD. Otherwise, Fritz refuses to
autoplay.

The Powerbook had learned from my own games. The SSDF games were not included.

>3)did you use fritz5.03 or fritz5(16 bit)?

Neither. The autoplayer version of Fritz 5 I have is dated January 14, 1998. I
guess it's Fritz 5.01

>4)Did fritz5 improve significantly in the second half of the match?

That's the breakdown:

                      R10         F5
Games 1-10             6           4
Games 11-20            2.5         7.5
Games 21-30            7           3
Games 31-38            4.5         3.5

The first 20 games were played without interruption.
In the last 18 games I stopped the autoplaying after game 10, restarted the
programs and then played the last 8 games.

I did the same experiment at blitz 5 with similar results. A definite
improvement in the second half by Fritz 5 when games were played without
interruption, and similar results between first and second half when the match
is interrupted half way. Either these results are random, or some learning in
Fritz 5 stays in memory only.
