No - i have no good results. My friends have no good results. We all have no
autoplayer, but we have bought fritz and bravely upgraded it.
We have 200 Mhz machines and when we play manually, fritz gets only
2nd class results.
Draws, losses. also wins. But not these good results enrique, moritz and the
ssdf-guys get.

I see no reason to admit that fritz is the strongest program, after all the bad
results and games I have seen, just because a bunch of people seeing as deep
friends of chessBase (otherwise they would not have got the autoplayer)
get beautiful results with it.

If the customer at home is unable to reproduce the results, they are worth
nothing.

All other programs support auto232, because they have nothing to hide and
they allow the customer to reproduce the results.

I will admit that fritz is the strongest program, when I have these results.
As long as my friends and I don't have these superior results, i will say the it
is good.

it may score top results, but the games are horrible.
And in no way it gets results BETTER than other programs.

Maybe the autoplayer can produce the results. But not my fritz here.
Here fritz plays exactly like in paris. Stupid. drawish and not succesful.

When I get good , best results by fritz, I have no problems saying that i have
good results. I would still not like the style, but have no problems to claim
that it is the strongest program.

I have also no problems to call nimzo98 very strong. Or Junior. I have
no problems with them because they play better chess as Fritz.

If you think this is a campaign, I can only say: this is always said.

But who pays this day ?! Saitek ? Hegener+Glaser because I liked MM5 ?
Marty, because I wrote a nice article about Mchess ? Don ? Because i liked
Rex-chess ? Novag, because I liked Super-Forte-C ? Ed ? Because I liked Rebel8 ?
Maybe Bob, because crafty leads my tournament ?!

Of course they all pay me :-))

I am a rich man.
