I think your conclusion is: Fritz7a at blitz5m is markedly better than Crafty1812, I don't think you can extend that to freeware vs all commercials, as Fritz7a does appear to be a bit special. Perhaps under the same conditions Fritz7a would have similar results, or good results, against Junior7 or Nimzo8 or Fritz6. Then the conclusion would be Fritz7a is bloody good at blitz. I must see what Chessfuns page is showing. It certainly does appear that Fritz7a is the best around at the moment. I wonder if TiggerGambit3, RebelCent4, Gandalf5, or Hiarcs8 will be able to make the necesary leaps to reach Fritz. Thanks for posting these results, this one is particularly interesting. Tina Long
