i do not see the draw-score phenomena as something to attack chessbase.
i would ask christophe or chris or ed or mark or whoever in the same
way if he would be the programmer of the program, and the draw-score behaviour
would be there: heij - what are you doing there ? it makes your program blind.

there was once a saying that frans morsch is so genius that he even
can make the cpu of a washing machine to play chess.
frans needs very few ram, very low speed of cpu and almost no rom
to implement a chess program.
this was the image i remembered and used again in this context.
the relation with the washing machine is not from me. i quoted the
image from somewhere. maybe the price is for another guy now :-)

??? i am not intolerant towards fritz. frans is really able to write small
and tiny programs that could run in your washing machine.
