Hi Blass, If you want to use CSTAL for long analisys should be because
the line will be different and not necessary better. You will have to
decide at the end which line is the better for you. But Fritz has shown
it's precise in most of the cases. If you're using only one machine for
overnigth analisys, then use Fritz. If having two computers, then Fritz
+ CSTAL. CSTAL will help finding surprising continuations. But remember
that even Thorsten cannot bamk 100% on the CSTAL (sometimes is very
crazy).
