Hi Thorsten,
Please do not take this note too seriously, but I want to bring a
couple of points to your attention.
You are showing us a single game which Fritz lost with the handicap
of having the black pieces.
Presumably, this is an example of how the actual game enables you to
accurately judge the relative strengths of the two programs.
I am in contact with Spock (via telapathy) and he tells me that your
method here is unscientific. He does acknowledge the strength of
human intuition but thinks it is being misapplied here! I would
like to get Bones opinion also but I cannot reach across time and
space with my powers. Maybe Spock will relay my request.
