The programs are running on an autoplayer built into Fritz 5. As far as
I can tell the programs get 100% of the cpu when its there turn to move.
This should be as good or better then running the match on two P 200mmx
computers. So with a 40 move in 3 hour time control this should be a
fair test. Unless there is some unknown problem with the Fritz 5
autoplayer that affects the programs in some way.
