Hello pavs,
I'm not sure that would make a difference.  The reason I did it the way I did
was to save time.  Since I was playing Fritz vs Fritz this eliminates the need
for playing one half of the games you suggest.  Since I can assume that Fritz vs
Fritz with same settings is an equal fight, I only needed to test the unequal
settings.   Yes of course more games is always better.  I'm going to watch the
match now so maybe later.
Jim
