No. To autoplay Fritz 5, the Powerbook must be on disk and learning enabled. Thorsten is playing his tournament manually, Powerbook on CD and therefore learning disabled. And this is precisely my point: the difference in performance when Fritz 5 autoplays and when it plays manually. It has to do with the learner, much more efficient in long matches against the same opponent than in one game at a time against different opponents, particularly when learning is disabled in manual games and always enabled in auto232.
