Thanks Uri, but don't trust the results of Deep Fritz that I posted, including
the 17-3 to J6a. Last night I realized that the machine used by the opponents
was doing funny things. Then I swapped computers, put DF on the faulty machine
and suddenly Junior started crushing DF. Memory seems fine, fans and CPU too, so
I'm still looking for the source of the trouble. Could it be the "SDRAM MA wait
state" set to "fast" instead of "normal" in BIOS? Anyway, please trash all these
results. :(
