Hi again,
if I understand you:
If you think that you right that means The King have advantage in ponder off vs
Fritz 8 or Junior 8 , please explain me and to another where is this advantage ,
where is hide ???
You can receive difference rezult of two ches programes (Junior 8 and Fritz 8
for example) in same condition in the first 10 games than second 10 games than
third 10 games ..... and what is your termination. Who is the best ? When you
finish your perfect test afther one year or two, we will have of that time
Junior 10 and Fritz 10 , and who want now result of your perfect test ?

Regards
Milan
