Why Marc Young games have been so succesful? Mark? Are you autoplaying
>Fritz 5 or using a hidden engine?


I am playing Fritz 5 on a P II 300. Fritz 5 is an out of the box Fritz 5
with the junior 4.6 upgrade added to it. I got both Fritz 5 and Junior
4.6 from ICD and I play all games by hand. The only autoplaying I have
done is with the Fritz 5 vs Junior 4.6 match. The autoplayer to do this
comes with Fritz 5 as part of the program. It can not be used to play
any of the ICC games. I have gotten some e-mail saying I have found a
way to play Fritz 5 on ICC with the autoplayer but this is just False.
Anyone who knows anything about fritz knows this can not be done. My ICC
rating was made because Fritz 5 plays dame good chess. It has won
against every program that fritz 5 has played on ICC. Not because I have
found a way the cheat with fritz 5, but because fritz 5 is just that
good. If others can not get good results with fritz 5 my guess is that
the program needs a fast cpu like a P 200 mmx or better to be the top
program. Unlike Rebel Fritz 5 runs Much faster on the Pentium chips then
the K6 chips. And It runs much faster on the P II chips as much as 33%
faster then the K6 233 running Fritz.
