well if all you think you need is a beancounter,
then you're kind of wrong.

sure at bullet/blitz level fritz7nommx will be stronger as it
gets quicker to the tactical barrier.

but i'd say why not compare fritz7 (btw set contempt at 0 first
before you let it play, because against computers contempt = 0
works better it seems) with fritz7nommx at 40 in 2 level i'd say.
