Thanks for pointing this out.

Game 89 looks okay to me. Except for the first move out of book.

After I've played 11 games, Rebel8 was up 7-4 and had won the 3 last games. I
quit Junior and realized that I had CB4 in the background. I then did the
JuniorMark
shorttest, with and without CB4. I got this numbers:

with	without

42 (256,5s)	121 (90,6s)
53 kN/s	        151 kN/s

I deleted games 9-11, as I is (was) sure that that was the last session, and
replayed them.
(Now games 89-91.)

I'll certainly will do that. Is it okay with you if I delete games 85-88 and
replay
them? How about Uri's suggestion not to use the Fritz5-CD?
