The problem is that the autoplayer Fritz 5 works only as master. Since Junior 4.6 is a module for Frizt and the F5+H6 are modules too, it was impossible to make them play betweem themselves or against Fritz 5 on separate machines. That's why I entered them in these particular matches in engine-engine form. I couldn't have done it in another way. For this same reason I couldn't include Junior 4.6 in the 40/2 tournament, as I had no way to make it play against Fritz 5 on separate machines. And I started the whole tournament as a test for Fritz 5, so Junior was left out. Pity. Aside from Junior, I would have liked to include Genius 5, Shredder 2, Chessmaster 5K and CST, but it would take too much time for me alone to do it. Enrique >Rajen Gupta
