I posted one game...the last game of the match. But I gave the results Fritz 6
17 - Crafty 16.6  5. I will post the games as always when the Fritz 6 vs Crafty
17.4 match is done. Please as you well know I have posted 100's of games...
thats all of my match games I have commented on in CCC. And have never with held
any game data from this group.
