There is no guarantee that the Fritz 7 engine will work properly separate from
the Fritz 7 GUI. Programmers sometimes fix bugs in an engine with special code
"fixes" in the GUI. Or maybe it works "mostly OK" but the strength could be
lowered. That could happen either by accident or by design!? So I'd suggest
doing some tests before making too many assumptions...  :o)
