Fritz5.32 was not available at that time and I doubt if Fritz5 was available at
that time.

Fritz5 played in the wmccc in the end of 1997 and the match was some monthes
before 1997.

I also think that it is better not to talk about the games of DBjr.
believing to results when there is no proof can encourage other people to lie so
I think that it is better to assume that these games never happened for the
discussion.
