How could i influence the game ?? When fritz plays a weak move >out of book, it is not my fault. I don’t have a problem with Fritz 5 playing weak moves. It may play a weak move and think the move is best and rank it the highest move out of 4 or 5 possible moves it could play. What I don’t understand is why in your tournament, Fritz 5 continually played the lowest ranking moves, move after move and game after game. This is not normal behavior for Fritz 5 to act in such a way. That is my problem with your games. So the question is why did Fritz 5 continually play lower ranking moves over moves Fritz 5 thought from its own book tree were better? If that was normal for Fritz 5 to do this I would not have a problem, but it is not normal for Fritz 5 to act in such a way. The pattern is clear and evident in your games that fritz liked lower percentage move over higher percentage moves in your tournament. That suggests some kind of problem and anyone looking at the data would agree.
