IE what about the case you mentioned a few months ago with Crafty vs CSTal? Crafty wins most games, you said. And I'd bet that against Fritz, Crafty will score < 50% most of the time. SO a case of A beats B, B beats C, C beats A simply shows there is no "transitivity" in chess. :) You need internet access. Playing on ICC would be both fun and informative, as we could get some good GM players to have a go at it to compare how it does against humans, with how other programs there do against the same humans..
