No one to date has been able to post any proof that Fritz 5 achieved it's result unfairly. Many have whined and made inferrences, but no one has ben able to give solid evidence so far. Why is that ??? Yes, the program used a different exe. file because of the addition of the autoplayer. Yes, it was allowed to use extra RAM as required by that autoplayer. Yes, it used a powerbook. None of this indicates that the program is any different than what you can purchase. The only item not available to the public is the autoplayer, and you can bet your but that if Chessbase can sell it for a profit it wil be on the market. They are a business, after all. Look at the recent selective search rating. Fritz 5 sits atop it at 2605, with the nearest competitor at 2585. Are people also accusing Eric Hallsworth of cheating ? No, only SSDF and Chessbase. I personally don't know if anything incorrect was allowed to occur, or if a special program was used to gain the origanl SSDF rating, but I do know that no one has seen any evidence to confirm the accusations. There has been a lot of heresay and speculation, but no proof. Not having evidence to prove these allegations, I must continue to place my trust in people like Eric and Enrique. Will everyone make the same allegations if Ed releases a new version of Rebel that achieves 2650, or if HIARCS 7 plays at GM strength ?
