>Relax Thorsten, I'm not attacking your integrity here, nor am I
>supporting Moritz's conspiracy theory.

I am relaxed. in the moment game 2 is done.
I am using WIN3.11 on the k6/200 Fritz5 is using.
BTW: please - I know Moritz for a while. I hope nobody of you believes
that we are enemies. I like Moritz and we know us from testing
Fritz5-beta and CSTal.
Moritz is a nice guy. So if some of YOU have the impression we are
killing us, than you have to reconsider that - as we say in germany -
nothing will be eaten so hot the way it was cooked (nichts wird so heiss
gegessen, wie es gekocht wird).

Moritz is, from my point of view very scientific and precise and a real
hardware freak. Also he likes Fritz5.
I am no hardware freak. I USE the machines. But I don't have to have
always the best/fastest. I like CStal but also many other programs. I do
not especially like Fritz5. The program is very good but the propaganda
done by CSS and ChessBase produces in me a kind of ANTI-FRITZ feeling.
I can - on the other hand - live very good with Matthias Wuellenwebers
way of handling the fritz matter.
But Matthias is not ChessBase at all. They have their supporters all
over. Nothing against supporting something. I do the same with Virtual
or Shredder or Hiarcs or - CSTal. BUT: when the amount of support is in
no relation to the quality of the product, and from my point of view
this case is Fritz5, I am fighting with these suuporters BECAUSE they
support very extreme to my point of view.
So - I know Moritz from email and I do also know others from email or
private life. I think knowing this, is important to find out how serious
some threads are meant.

No change. If you show me a way to EXPORT the search/Eval/computing-time
info into the PGN without having ChessBase, I would do so.
Again, Shall I email you my .cbv file ??

> I also have Fritz 5, but when

Fritz5 is printing the depth AFTER the move when you allow him to do so.
He saves evals/depth AND computing time.

I can email you my compressed chess-base-file with ALL computing-times
AND evals/search-depth. But whats your email ??`

We (moritz has told me , and I increased my RAM with some chips Moritz
was so kind to send me. Than I was able to proof that fritz increases in
playing strength. After this experiment I sent the RAM-chips back to
him, of course.) have found out that Fritz plays stronger with OPTIMAL
hashtables.
This should be >= 50 MB HASH-Tables.
