I am not sure if the results are statistically different.

Fritz6 without autoplayer won Rebel Century and shredder4 in the Israeli league.

I understand from reading Enrique's post that 204 that is probably shredder4 did
not do a bad result and is probably 3th place when first is Fritz6a and second
is Junior6(Junior6a in part of the games).

I do not say that there is no problem with the autoplayer of chessbase that help
chessbase programs but even if there is a problem with the chessbase autoplayer
I do not like legal actions against the ssdf.

The ssdf guys publish part of their games so the right step is to prove that
there is a problem with the games that is bigger than a general problem with
autoplayers.

The fact that there is a general problem with autoplayer not because of
chessbase is known and Ed found cases when the autoplayer changes things(it does
not happen often but it happens).
