hmm, that is what a lot of people were saying after 4 games, but honestly i
don't think there is any real difference between top engines in play vs humans.
they will all "take the money and run" whenever a human blunders, which happens
frequently :-)
as to your question, here are the finger notes of a DF account which explain
that quite well:

7: Deep Fritz has its good days.. and its bad days...
8: Using FritzOn to keep autoplayer from crashing and to relay engine chatter.
If you're interested, contact Origin22.
9: Look at the rating difference between crafty and scrappy.. with scrappy
running on less powerful hardware than crafty.. just shows how inflated
!computer comp ratings are...
10: I have seen a massive growth in !computer comps on ICC. I think this is
shameful. I remember the good days when there were more comps playing everyone
than !computer comps. Like ICC NEEDS more of them!
