I would agree with you. But Thorsten set the standard of proof. Not me. He know
what he claimed was not true. Then he claimed that the win over Fritz 5 by Rebel
10 was proof that Fritz 5 is weak.
Now that we all know that Fritz 5 drew the match with rebel 10 and Rebel 10 had
a 2 times speed advantage. What does that prove. Under Thorsten logic he must
admit that Fritz 5 is a strong program. Or will Thorsten logic not apply when it
comes to fritz 5. I expect a fast back peddle from Thorsten or another lie to
cover his flawed logic.
