I guess that chessfun looked also in the games and not only in the result and
found that there is something wrong in the games that crafty won 11-9.

I found something wrong in the games that Fritz won 9-0 by discovering that my
crafty17.10 need less time to get the same depthes with slower hardware.

Chessfun also found that I am right.

I guess that the software/hardware is similiar
and it is probably possible to find evidence that something is wrong in the
games in the same way that I found that something was wrong in the games that
fritz was leading 9-0.
I suspect that in the 11-9 result something is wrong with fritz6a's moves.

I do not have fritz6a so I cannot check if something is wrong with the moves of
fritz6a even if I get the games.
