Subject: Forcing Top Programs to play FRC position and which play stronger !

I Forced Chess Tiger 15 CB version, Hiarcs 8 and Fritz 8.0.23 to play under
shoot out from this position:

What I found out was that Chess Tiger 15 CB and Hiarcs 8 play much better than
Fritz 8.0.23 under Shootout. For some reason Fritz 8.0.23 played the first two
moves horrible 1.f3 f6 2.Kf2? Kf7? I have not tried Fritz8 8.0.0.8 yet.

My conclusion is that you can set up the initial FRC position by using the Arena
FRC GUI and transfer it manually to any top Chessbase program and even challenge
strong humans players in ICC. If any of you would like to try this idea please
let us know about your finding, but you would have to probably play longer than
30 minutes to be able to transfer the moves manually against your human opponent
on the ICC.
