thanks. This is a very interesting experiment. I hope this third match will be
finished soon.

One suggestion, if you have time and are in the mood:

Test Fritz 5.32 against Aristarch 4.21. According to some Ratinglists Aristarch
profits form longer time-controls whereas Fritz 5.32 looses. Additionally these
two engines are about equal strength. so it might be possible to see Fritz
winning the blitz-matches, while aristarch winning the tournament-match. If this
happens the "diminishing score"-argunent could be refuted. so try it out,
please.

I know Fritz 5.32 is not a current engine, but _if_ Christophe Theron is true it
should benefit from quicker hardware and longer times as much as other
(well-balanced) engines.

regards Joachim
