Subject: Even More about our fellow Fritz

Hi all concerned with this issue:
Respect to the incapacity of some people to reproduce the games that are
used as proof of something, I wonder if this can be explained by the
fact that, being Fritz so fast and grounded in speed, differences in
procesor, hash and the rest make great difference EVEN taking into
account an effort to equate things with mnore or less processing time.
Do you remember the old discussion about that moves by Deep Blue that
nobody was capable to explain? Computer has became so complicated that
nobody knows for certain in which conditions thos or that solution is
reached. I am not a hack, but beyond certain point of complexity a
combination of hardware and software can result in unexpected and
unexplained behaviour. Mats, is your processor an Intel unit?
Respect with the issue of style I agree fully and that' s the reason I
have became an apostle of CSTAL. Not only is strong but his gives a kind
of game that at the end gives you some wilds desires to smash it with a
hammer. I have been a pawn up and with better position and the bloody
guy found a way to hold the game and lastly win it, to my stupefactio
and rage. If I Had had a pistol at hand -I have not- I would shoot over
the screen.
