I'm not sure I understand why you say "it is not fair".  Can you explain your
stand on this issue?  I see nothing unfair with this.  I see the Chess Program
as a combination of the engine and the GUI.  I am using the Junior 7 GUI because
it is more stable than the Fritz 5.32 GUI but they both used tablebases.
