It also does not take a degree to notice that I have had a number of posts regarding this issue. And time and time again Fritz 7 has come out ahead of DF7. I don't think one needs a degree to notice that if 10 8 round tournaments are run, and one engine comes out ahead in almost all of them, that there might something to it. I have also had many 20 round tournaments with Fritz 7 coming out ahead. It does not take a degree to ask some questions involving a situation before shooting off your mouth with nasty remarks. BUT, BY ALL MEANS IF THAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, THE MORE POWER TO YA!! Brian
