Nevertheless it is not always true, that the difference will diminish, see for example this experiment: Shredder 7(CB) vs Fritz 8.0.0.5 Game Total (+ 1/2 -) 5min/game 63.0-97.0 (40-46-74) 10min/game 68.0-92.0 (49-38-73) 30min/game 72.5-87.5 (47-51-62) 120min/game 68.5-91.5 (43-51-66) you see no difference at 5min/game and 120 min/game contrary to the ChessTiger-Rebel-Match. regards Joachim
