Your test shows: Fritz 7 + 2600.ctg seems stronger at 5 min/game in a PIII unknown mhz + ponder off than Crafty 18.12 + 2600.ctg with a certain degree of confidence given by the number (200) of games. Neither program use their default book. The time/move is unknown since we don't know the clock speed. Ponder is off which is not a default setting. I don't know your test is worthless, don't get me wrong. I only say it does not prove anything but the above stated. Nothing about commercials or amateurs; fritz or crafty; fritz or crafty + default settings; and so on... José C.
