Hi Uri,

How's that? The both programmes had to play on a blank sheet w/o any opening
libraries and using only the positional knowledge they really had. Fruit tried
to make it more positional, I'd say, hyper-modern, but Fritz made him play acute
lines and that's where he (Fruit) slipped. So what was wrong about my test? I'm
sure had I let them both use good books, i.e., of Fritz, Junior or Shredder, the
outcome wouldn't be much better for Fruit. Too little knowledge can't turn into
a better score result.

Cheers,
Alexander
