The earlier versions of Gandalf had problems with Fritz, but the E version's book seemed to get the best of Fritz. The computers used in the test are the same ones I am using now, and if you were to look on FICS, or Chess.net, my accounts are doing fine, so OS problems, or hardware problems seem unlikely. I think the main reason the match scores are like they are, as the E version's book like I stated above, is _much_ better. I think the F version's book has many holes, and the earlier book doesn't.
