Stuart,

Do you think that DJ and DF might tie this tournament?  I do.  There would be a
playoff series of games at that point.  Chessbase sells both programs.  They
could care less who wins. If a person is in favor of Fritz then he will probably
buy the upgrade to Fritz and avoid Junior.  The opposite is true.

It is like gefillte fish--not everyone likes it.  There are other fish in the
sea.


Your friend in computer chess and life,
