Amusing - not a single word about your hardware. If (by any chance) Fritz is
doing less than 1,000 NPS, you are running a sub-optimal configuration.

Some trivia:

- According to credible sources, Anand splits Fritz in very short games.
- Fritz 3 (P90) tied Kasparov for first in an elite blitz tournament years ago.
- I am over 2300 (blitz) on ICC and I have never won a 3/0 game from Fritz 5.32
on P3-550.

Thanks,
