It doesn't matter if people find out, and start beating fritz!  The point would
have been made, that when playing against the normal standard of grandmaster
chess Fritz is comparable with those players.  That is the ultimate point and
purpose.  We have computer chess so that we can see a high level of chess, and
also so that we can learn how to play typical chess(good chess), not anti
computer chess(bad chess).  Now of course i'm not advocating that anyone should
purpotrate a hoax.  What i'm suggesting is the likelyhood that Fritz is GM
strength when it comes to what's important "typical chess".  When i described
the method of secrecy to test it, i was not advocating anyone do it, i was just
stating what would have to be done.  There is often a difference between what
you have to do to qaulify for what you call ethics, and what you have to do to
get an accurate scientific result.
