Power-book is on cd. so learning takes normally no effect. (other programs have
special learning files they copy on on hd after each game)

as i said, my book is on cd. you can see this in the printouts/logouts of
fritz because it takes time to access to the cd and fritz measures the time...

Exactly.

Thanks that you don't try any frontier games here.
I think my "witness-preparation" guarantees at least that i am
not cheating by playing 10 games and "forget" 7 wins and only take the one loss.
Because my witness sees which game was played. There is still room for
manipulation (if somebody wants to cheat, he will find a way...)
but i think i have done anything from my side to guaranty that anything is ok.
I am not in charge for the games fritz played, although some people want to
suggest here... :-))
