Thank You for your apology. I certainly did'nt fabricate the results.
I did say _SHORT_ matches. They used the same books, and yes, I'm sure there was
some luck involved.

They were all tested on the same machine, a 500MGH PIII with 128MB of SDRAM.
They operated under the Fritz 6 GUI using engine match. They were all allocated
32MB for hash tables.

The operating system was Win/98 with no additional programms wasting the cpus'
time.

I did the best I could do, having only one computer.
