So - where were you critics when hiarcs was not tested on equal hardware
for ONE year ???
You say I have insulted somebody. Please name the insult.
I don't have to say something positive in public when i want to
critisize
something (the exception they have done to chessBase=Fritz).
My fritz does not play that strong. Did you forgot. Also I don't let MY
fritz play against hiarcs on p90 with 16 !!! MB hash ! I don't have a
p90 anymore.

And i don't see sense in rating fritz on the base of hiarcs running on a
non MMX machine, that is not as fast and gets as much ram.
I don't see a reason to do this.

Right. FINE. But - as you can see: it does not change anything.
As a foreigner, ...

These games cannot be counted. The fritz5 autoplayer is not publically
available. Also hiarcs is NOT using a special separate book (550 MB) on
cd like fritz is doing.
Hiarcs needs equal conditions, or ?

As i said, these games cannot be count. the fritz5 autoplayer is not
publically available like the one in hiarcs, genius, rebel, nimzo,
shredder and and and.
Also my fritz does not play that strong. And I know other people, who
don't want to be named here, because they don't wanna talk with people
like you and Moritz (sorry) , who cannot follow your famous results.

>ones. Why?

What is this , a balance of comments ? Do I have to be nice to fritz to
be right or wrong ?
I have to speak out what i see. When I see unfair behaviour, I will say
it.
Why should i talk about POSITIVE things when I want to hint on
disadvantages in competitions. This is not the kindergarden Enrique.
YOUR CHILD Fritz will not commit suicide only because I do not be nice
to it.

which manually games you refer too ?

Stronger enrique. And stronger than the ssdf-list shows. Since they
cheat with the conditions.
Fritz is weak - you don't know about ?
