A praktical engine like F8.0023 is for analyses in my eyes not the right way.
I can also be never sure, is my Analysis right or not? This is the critical
point. When I be not sure why do?????????? Used another Engine or old engines!!!



(in ENG-ENG Matches "only" we can not know what a performance have this new
Engine in eyes by Humans)

I need never see this Phantasie-Engines Like Fritz 8.00xx :(

Frans besinne dich zu den alten Tugenden von Fritz, wo es nicht nötig war solche
KRÜCKEN zu implementieren. Danke!
