Other people argue that when using two computers, the autoplayer would give the ChessBase programs an advantage. My experience show - provided a sufficient number of games are played - no differences in results between autoplayer matches and engine matches on one machine with ponder=off. I do therefore no longer use the autoplayer to get more games. Kurt
