Just for fun I started a 1 min blitz engine match between this version and the
version of fritz 6 dated April 2000 (Fritz6b).

I have just woken up and the score is:-

Fritz6m - Fritz6b  160:137, 115 draws

I don't know how significant or accurate this is but it would be interesting to
see the result of a match between this engine and Deep Fritz, on a single
processor. I don't have Deep Fritz but I will play the engine against one of the
Tigers next.
