Oops, sorry Franz! I looked at this page a while ago, before the engine files
were added. If they're identical to the engines included on the Fritz 5.32 CD,
they do work. The only problem is that occasionally Fritz 1 unnecessarily loses
on time at tournament time controls. Like being +5 up in a game with 20 seconds
to the end of the time control, and letting the clock run out.
