When all comments about Fritz 5 and the SSDF are systematically negative, their meaning regard exclusively the objectivity of the author of these comments. Thorsten: aside from the SSDF, Fritz 5 has been doing very well in games played by me and by Mark, manually or not. Fritz 5 has been doing very well too against strong human opponents. I have yet to see a positive comment from you about anything at all regarding Fritz 5. Of course, you don't have to. But since you are so actively involved in commenting Fritz 5, it is difficult to take your criticisms as anything but an emotional outburst. Enrique
