To draw by chance, yes. To win? Never.

For me they are. Like playing Hiarcs7/MMX-Hiarcs6/P90.

I only remember 6 games but I don't remember the time control. And it was
Thorsten who got the result. Thorsten favours Tiger and CSTal and likes to see
Fritz lose. Have you ever seen a match result which CSTal lost when Thorsten
played? So I am always warned when T. posts results.
