To test out this auto232 autoplayer program, I did a match between Deep Fritz
and CM8000 at a 10 minutes with a 10 second increment time control.  Deep Fritz
won this match in 21 games with a score of 12.5-8.5 (Deep Fritz won 6 games in a
row at one point to take the lead.)  The match was  abest of 24.
