Absolutely correct - I just didn´t remember the English name ´score sheet´.
This bug caused the engine to stop, when switching from the notation window
to the score sheet, but only after already having played some moves (when
the move list in the score sheet has to scroll!) - this bug is now fixed!

And of course that´s only an update for the Fritz user interface, not
for the engine.

Regards,
Franz.
